A Survey on the Application of Expert System and Artificial Intelligence in Production Planning

전문가 시스템 및 인공지능을 이용한 생산관리를 위한 기초조사

An extensive survey is carried out on the applications of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ES (Expert System) in mathematical programming and simulation, which are the most frequently used tools in production planning. A scheduling field is also reviewed. The scheduling problem is one of the most attractive area for AI and ES researchers, since any practical algorithmic solution methods are not available. The current practice and difficulty of applying AI and ES to production planning are discussed and future research directions are identified.
