The primary objective of this study is to integrate data base system , expert system and fuzzy multicriteria decision making method to implement a master production scheduling techniques decision system(MPSTDS) for assemble-to-order(ATO) products. Automobiles and personal computers are examples of ATO products . The ATO company sells a wide variety of customized products requiring some customer interface regarding product specifications . Competition may exist among the producers of similar products such that the firms'' sales volumes may be seriously affected by variations in quality, price,lead tile..etc. This paper proposes the MPSTDS to support the manufacture manager who can dynamically select the best suitable technique for designing a master production scheduling that according to current marketing demand , product structure type and company manufacturing stategy. Multicriteria decision making bas been one of rapid growing research areas in evaluation method . This method cooperate with fuzzy inference used to determine the best suitable technique for ATO firms. Additionally, this study uses the expert system development shell - LEVEL 5 OBJECT , dBASE III Plus and CLIPPER lanauage to develop a MPSTDS prototype system and to verify the MPSTDS.
