Abstract
The paper discusses the design, implementation and validation of FLEAS, a flowline environment for automated supervision of clothing manufacturing systems. The paper argues for a mixed initiative approach to system control which incorporates both a scheduling component, based on local search, and a simulation component which dynamically tests the validity of the supervisory decisions made by the scheduler.
