Abstract

In this paper, a multi-model system for planning and scheduling is presented. The multi-model system is defined as a system integrating expert systems techniques, discrete event simulation, optimization algorithms and heuristics to support decision making for complex production planning and scheduling problems. An application to chemical industry is then described and some experiment results are presented
