“…The multi-criteria nature of production-planning problems, the complexity of these problems, and the need to make decisions online spur the development of techniques and methods for building dedicated DSSs (Banaszak, 1992;Bujari et al, 2012;Jensen, 1987;Laemmle & Gust, 2019). Hence, the relevant computer-aided tools should be designed to allow an integrated online analysis of alternative scenarios for completing production orders and early detection of errors in the order execution method used (Alexopoulos et al, 2022). Similar expectations apply to solutions focused on computer-aided modelling, exploring feasible alternatives, and evaluating the functioning of operational control algorithms implemented in real-time industrial controllers (Heiner et al, 1992).…”
