Abstract
Maintenance issues comprise an important, though frequently overlooked, area of manufacturing operations. In smaller companies in particular, expertise for effective maintenance project planning may be lacking. In this paper we discuss the development of an object‐oriented expert system to support such project planning. The system was developed to meet the needs of an automotive components manufacturer, and focuses solely on its material‐handling‐oriented projects. The microcomputer‐based expert system considers issues of schedule, inventory availability and cost.
