Course Objectives Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to conceptualize the overall scheduling process, its prerequisites, its integration with computer systems and other production management systems especially in shop scheduling and have both the analytical thinking skills and practical tools to solve related scheduling problems.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Students will be able to clearly define what is scheduling activity and its importance, and to demonstrate the top-down relation of different levels of scheduling.
  • Students will be able to define the performance criteria/criterion for a schedule and devise measures for evaluation.
  • Students will be able to define and identify problems and their solution techniques/tools for effective master and job shop scheduling process in real life situations.
  • Students will be able to develop practical models that will improve shop level scheduling process.
Course Content Scheduling and sequencing problems, basic formulation, single processor, multi processor scheduling procedures and heuristics.
