Abstract
The analysis of the state of affairs in manufacturing companies has shown that in a number of cases the obligations towards end customer remain unfulfilled, that due dates of delivery are not observed, that the image of the firm is damaged and that the penalties are high. Apart from an inadequate scheduling model often lacking the possibility for plan variants to be made, the inadequate and inapplicable priority models have often been stated as the most important reasons for running behind schedule. This paper defines the notion of priority and suggests a new class priority model for the piece and small scale production based on expert system. With regard to the existing priority rules the proposed model introduces a number of new parameters, not only for the technology department but also for the purchasing and sales departments. Priority classes are solved for work orders and consider not only various kinds of attributes but also their values.
