ABSTRACTThis work relates the development of a support computational system to the decisionbased on knowledge and the mathematical model to check the obtained results. The developedsystem defines the chronogram of production of Printer´s X of Company Z, in order tominimize the setup time (necessary time, in each production, to accomplish the change of thevariables). The objective is to use the most the same variables of a production for other,reducing the number of changes and, consequently, the setup time. Each product has fourvariables: knife, cylinders, colors and paper, which are used by a machine in each production.The developed system was implanted in the Company Z and used by the human specialist, inorder to assist him in the taking of decision related to the next product to be produced.Key-words: System support to the decision based on knowledge; Expert system; ExpertSINTA Tool; Euclidian Distance; Setup time.
