Abstract	In recent years, the automotive industry has realized the importance of speed of new products to market and has mounted efforts for improving it. The Expert System Scheduler (ESS) facilitates these efforts by enabling manufacturing plants to generate viable schedules under increasing constraints and demands for flexibility. The scheduler takes advantage of the Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) environment by utilizing the real-time information from the factory for responsive scheduling. The Expert System Scheduler uses heuristics developed by an experiences factory scheduler. It uses simulation concepts and these heuristics to generate schedules. Forward and "backward" simulation are used at different stages of the schedule generation process. The system is used to control parts flow on the factory floor at one automated facility. This highly automated facility is a testbed for implementation of CIM concepts. The scheduler runs on a Texas Instruments (TI) Explorer II computer using software developed inhouse utilizing IntelliCorp's Knowledge Engineering Environment (KEE) shell and the LISP language. The scheduling computer is networked to the factory control computer, which actually controls the plant floor. The TI Explorer II acquires current plant floor information from the factory control system, generates a new schedule and sends it back within a short time. The configuration allows fast response to changes in requirements and plant floor conditions.
