The IDSS is attached to the lowest level of the PMS, namely the production activity control (PAC) subsystem, and includes a simulator, that imitates real system behaviour, a knowledge-based component, that imitates expert reasoning, and a real-time database manager, that acts as the data pool and the communication gate between them. The IDSS is capable of performing off-line and on-line rescheduling, thus resulting in more realistic short-term plans. Analysis of the related case problem and implementation of the system are also discussed.</p>
