Abstract
The paper focuses on a selected class of decision problems related with the waste distribution network in SMEs. High efficiency in solving large combinatorial problems offered by implementation of the Constraints Satisfaction Problem (CSP) concept constitute an alternative for the currently available systems based on simulation techniques and operation research. Possible ways of the CSP decomposition as well as possibility of applying different programming languages lead then to a problem aimed at searching for a distribution strategy allowing one to interact in an on-line model. The results obtained are implemented in a software package supporting waste distribution network in the SMEs. An illustrative example of the Mozart-based software application is provided.
