Description
In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) methods have been applied to production management systems (PMS), particularly in the area of scheduling. Included in this book is a review of research and applications as well as a presentation of new results. There is a mix of papers from industry, research laboratories and academia which gives a realistic perspective on the prospects for AI technology in PMS applications. The majority of papers are concerned with the use of knowledge based techniques to solve various scheduling problems. The introductory section includes two overview papers, each presenting the views and expectations of researchers in major industrial companies who have some experience of using AI technology to solve production management problems. There follows a series of technical papers which have been grouped into five categories: Model Based and Simulation Approaches; AI and Scheduling; AI and Production Planning; The GRAI Method; AI Applications and FMS.
