Cyclically interlinked production systems are commonly used production facilities. During the bidding phase manufacturers of these systems assure customers about the performance and operating efficiency despite numerous uncertainties. Up to now, there has been no planning approach that could hedge these results. Recently however, a method for configuring cyclically interlinked production systems during the bidding phase has been developed in order to resolve this deficit. Data mining models are built to predict performance figures of production systems, whereas, characteristic curves are used to predict the operating efficiency of a system configuration. This paper introduces the challenge of bid proposal management and explains the developed method.

The guide describes an expert system that allows a person-independent representation and low-resource utilization of production system knowledge. The expert system is designed for the die and mold making industry. Central components of the system are a data model for knowledge representation, a tool shop specifically configured knowledge base and data mining algorithms for automated adaptation of the knowledge base on company-specific constraints.

Even the tool and mold making industry can not afford waste in operational procedures. Designing a lean company is now supported by an expert system of IPH.
