description

The paper focuses on a selected class of decision problems related with the production flow planning in SMEs, particularly in new production orders. Verification of orders gives a possibility to evaluate whether resources capacity of a manufacturer is balanced with the orderer's requirements. The class of decision problems under analysis is included in the scope of organizational production preparation and can be naturally determined by available CLP (Constraint Logic Programming) tools. The approach proposed in the paper is based on establishment of an interface which facilitates its task oriented use. The system has been presented on the basis of a sample order execution in a manufacturer's company (Archimedes S.A.).
