Computer-based demand forecasting systems have been widely adopted in supply chain companies, but little research has studied how these are actually used the process. We report findings of a case study pharmaceutical company over 15-year period. At start study, managers believed that they were making extensive use their system was marketed based on accuracy its advanced statistical methods. Yet...

In most current APS (Advanced Planning and Scheduling) systems the planning and scheduling tasks are handled separately using different methods and technology from the areas like Artificial Intelligence and Operations Research. Recently, Constraint Programming becomes a roof over several solving technologies that allow us to solve both planning and scheduling tasks within single declarative fra...
