This paper presents a case study on a short-term production planning system for a flow-type manufacturing process. This system can be used to formulate a feasible production plan and schedule through a dialogue among planners, with the aid of computers, to combine their respective abilities. The system was applied to a condenser manufacturing industry with a dynamic product mix consisting of both standard and non-standard products. The proposed system can be extended to other manufacturing environments.
