Course objectives
The course studies the area of scheduling from the theoretical and practical point of view. Both classical and new methods for solving planning and scheduling problems are presented. Description of general purpose scheduling procedures gives the basic overview of solving methods. Various models for planning and scheduling in manufacturing and services are described and algorithms for their solution are presented. The models include real-life problems like project planning, scheduling assembly systems, timetabling, workforce scheduling, or telecommunication planning.
Syllabus
  • Examples, scheduling problem, Graham classification.
  • General purpose scheduling procedures: dispatching rules, mathematical programming, local search, constraint programming.
  • Project planning and scheduling: project representation, critical path, time/cost trade-offs, workforce constraints.
  • Machine scheduling: dispatching rules, branch&bound, beam search, mathematical programming, shifting bottleneck.
  • Scheduling of flexible assembly systems: paced and unpaced systems, flexible flow shop.
  • Reservations: interval scheduling, reservation with slack.
  • Timetabling: workforce constraints, tooling constraints, relation to interval scheduling.
  • Workforce scheduling.
  • Telecommunication planning.

Assessment methods (in Czech)
Písemná práce pro každý řádný termín, představuje společnou přípravu pro všechny studenty, otázky: příklady (zadán problém, případně i metoda, cílem výpočet rozvrhu), srovnávací, algoritmy, pojmy.
Ústní zkouška ve stejný den jako písemná práce, příprava na individuální otázky, během zkoušky diskuse nad písemnou prací.
Opravný termín pouze jako ústní zkouška.
