Parallel multiproduct problem is a composite case, i.e. with aspects of both parallel machine and flowshop. The authors define this production system and give a classification of the essential constraints characterizing it. They give the objectives and specify the functional architecture of our knowledge-based system. The scheduling algorithm and a demonstrative example are given. The evaluation and analysis of results are discussed.
