Abstract
The EPCC, working with leading UK expert-systems provider Cogsys and three end-users from the heart of Scottish manufacturing, set out to develop a new breed of manufacturing planning tools. All this came together into the highly successful industrial process optimisation project. By building in a rule-based expert system at the heart of the system, it is possible to provide the user with a simple means of customising the tool in-house, with a little training. The author describes the development of a software tool to simplify production planning under the many constraints of a real-world factory
