Abstract
Production scheduling plays a key enabling technique in improving the efficiency of modern production enterprises facing the international competition. Although the trend in software development for business application demands standard software, there exist no applicable standard scheduling software package. In this paper a special architecture based on object-oriented application frameworks and AI-reasoning methods is proposed as a mean to narrow this gap.
