Popis: Within the ESPRIT project 22298, DECIDE, an advanced decision support system for bid preparation of one-of-a-kind and small batch production was developed. To ensure its optimal practical use, two industrial companies with complex, engineered-to-order products were actively involved in the development process. The practitioners provided the system developers with insights into their daily business processes, with requirements as well as expectations. In addition, they tested the system and gave feedback to the developers. In this paper, the specific DECIDE adaptation for the Bremer Werk fur Montagetechnik GmbH (BWM) is described. Beginning with a company profile, the bidding process is shown and the requirements of a system supporting this process are outlined. The implementation of DECIDE for BWM is then outlined. Finally, the paper reports on the testing of the system in the company's environment and tries to quantify the benefits arising from its use at BWM.
