Abstract. This paper presents a CBR application in the domain of industrial 
supervision. The domain knowledge is acquired at design stage
through different models and some critical prototypical situations. At
operating stage, new situations and their associated supervision strategy 
complete the supervision system and are reused by adaptation in
later situations in similar contexts. The system can be viewed as an artificial 
operator who collects experiences from the operators in order to
propose relevant variants in similar situations. First, we present current
approaches in process supervision. Then, knowledge and cases representation 
that support case-based reasoning and the different stages of the
reasoning process are presented. We focus on case adaptation, and show
different degrees of case reuse, depending on available knowledge.
