  How to use it: 
  The decision table is used to define the conditions and actions that should be taken when certain conditions are met. The user can define the conditions and actions by entering them into the table. The conditions can be based on any data available in the system, such as product characteristics, customer requirements, or production constraints. The actions can be anything from changing the production plan to sending an alert to a supervisor. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a decision table, it is important to consider all possible scenarios and ensure that all conditions and actions are properly defined. It is also important to test the decision table before using it in production, as errors in the definition of the conditions or actions can lead to incorrect decisions being made.
