  • Abstract
    In this paper a structure of the manufacturing expert system is presented. This system is to control three subsystems: process planning, programming of robots and machines and production planning. One of the basic elements of the production planning system is the production scheduling. A scheduling framework together with the heuristic scheduling algorithm are developed. The algorithm is illustrated on a numerical example.
