Abstract
Knowledge-based systems (KBS) can help to make simulation available to a large group of users. We want to exemplify this by describing a decision support system (DSS) for short term rescheduling in manufacturing called SIMULEX. It couples expert systems, simulation, and a multiattribute decision making (MADM) procedure to assist the production manager. After an introduction to simulation as a problem solving tool, the current problems in production control and the goals of the project are described. Then, the various components of SIMULEX are explained in some detail. Some results and a short outlook conclude the article.
