Abstract
In this paper, we present a comprehensive view of problem solving in manufacturing. The central tenet of this paper is that in addressing complex manufacturing problems, the major focus should be on key decisions and tasks, with the specific aim of improving the effectiveness of the manager's problem solving process. That entails modeling the decision-making process and integrating that with the rest of the problem solving process. A decision support system (DSS) framework that attempts to address these concerns in a unified manner is proposed.Keywords
