Catalog Description
Introduction to scheduling. Selected problems from various manufacturing and service applications. Common methods and approaches used to model and solve these problems. Project scheduling. Job shop scheduling. Flow shop scheduling. Lot sizing and scheduling. Reservation systems, timetabling, workforce and crew scheduling.
Course Objectives
The goals of this course are to expose students to various classes of scheduling problems that appear in the manufacturing and service sectors. In particular, project scheduling, job shop scheduling, flowshop scheduling, lot scheduling reservation scheduling, timetabling and workforce scheduling problems are discussed. The course aims to teach the common mathematical and heuristic modeling and solution approaches to these problems.
