This paper is a case history of the computer-aided logic expert system (Cales), a quality and productivity tool for programmable controller software engineering now being used in an engineer-to-order manufacturing company. Strategic goals for Cales included the removal of a corporate bottleneck in the electrical engineering department and the development of a foundation for knowledge-based engineering in other parts of the company. Our ultimate knowledge-based engineering goals are to make our corporation more responsive to customer needs and to offer greater customer values with less effort, thereby ensuring a more profitable corporation.
