To control product mix and product volume released into production lines; 4. To schedule operatio..

Expert systems, and artificial intelligence more generally, can provide a useful means for representing decisionmaking processes. By linking expert systems software to simulation software, an effective means of including these decision-making processes in a simulation model can be achieved. This paper demonstrates how a commercial off-the-shelf simulation package Witness can be linked to an expe..
