We adopted the approach of using heuristic dispatching techniques with simulation-based performance evaluation and developed a prototype system in PROLOG. The approach aims at giving decision support for planning and scheduling in a job-shop In two levels: 1) to predict shop behavior through handling allocation, sequencing and scheduling decisions. 2) to enable to modify current schedules based on up-to-date Information such as unexpected machine breakdowns. © 1991 IEEE.en10.1109/IMC.1990.687384info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessConference Object2577580N/A
