Abstract :
ExPlanTech´s multiagent approach offers a unified framework for decision-making support and provides a proven alternative to known mathematical and system science-modeling technologies for simulating the manufacturing process. ExPlanTech provides technological support for various manufacturing problems and comprises different components, which you can assemble to develop a customized system that supports a user´s decision making in different aspects of production planning. The system should help human users size resources and time requirements for a particular order, creating production plans, optimizing material resources manipulation, managing and optimizing supply chain relationships, visualizing and analyzing medium- and long-term manufacturing processes, and accessing external data.
