Abstract
The—preferably optimal—assignment of resources (time, personnel, tools, etc.) to tasks that need to be carried out, is a challenging and economically significant field of decision making. Examples include the planning of a project, the production flow in a factory, class schedules in a school, and supplying rental car customers with cars.
