In recent years the growing complexity of industrial manufacturing and the need for higher efficiency, shortened product life cycle, greater flexibility, better product quality, greater satisfaction of customer’s expectations and lower cost have changed the face of manufacturing practice. A great challenge for today’s companies is not only how to adapt to this changing business environment but also how to draw a competitive advantage from the way in which they choose to do so. As a basis to achieve such advantages, companies have started to seek to optimize the operation of their manufacturing systems. Since traditional, centralized manufacturing planning, scheduling and control mechanisms were found insufficiently flexible to respond to this new situation, many manufacturing companies decided to adopt intelligent solutions. Expert systems technology provides a natural way to overcome such problems, and to design and implement distributed intelligent manufacturing environments.
