This paper presents an extended MRP II-based production management system (PMS), which improves the traditional MRP II paradigm by attaching an intelligent decision supporting system (IDSS) to it. 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.

In this project - which is co-funded by the European Union - our team is responsible for the development of the Advanced Network Services over the Campus Network, which is being established during the project. In the following chapters we first present the general perspective and the architecture of the integrated system which offers the set of advanced services to the University community. We then describe in detail the different services (WWW and Intranet, On-line teletraining, Computer supported cooperative work, and Off-line teletraining). A key characteristic of the system is the integration of existing commercial tools, with tools that we are developing for the specific needs of the foreseen users. It is evident that this system can be considered as a pilot project for large and demanding user communities, as is the case with the University of Patras. %B 5th International Conference on Computers in Education-ICCE 97, Sarawak, Malaysia %P 420 - 427 %8 2 - 6 December %G eng
