The Declarative Framework Approach to Decision Support for Constrained Search Problems - Efficient Decision Support Systems: Practice and Challenges from Current to Future - page 181

results obtained make it possible to find answers to additional questions: Which
distribution centers are the most used? Which plants are the largest suppliers? Are there
unnecessary distribution centers?
5. Conclusions
The paper presents a general concept for the decision support system for the outbound
logistic in supply chain. The unique contribution of the presented concept in the form of
an additional layer of information is flexibility. It can be used to implement any questions
as developed constraint logic programming. It proposes a very flexible and versatile
means of automatic generation of decision-making models based on the contents of the
database.
It should be noted that the quality of the proposed decision-making models, which
correspond to the respective entries to the system tables depends on the quality of
generated decision. It is worth noting that the entries in the system tables for the type of
decision-making model are executed only once. Ready-made questions (decision making
models) are longer automatically generated even if you change the data in the database
ERP system.
