Production Scheduling
Chapter
Abstract
Scheduling is an activity that is important in many fields of endeavour ranging from the construction of school timetables to the processing of information in computers. There is, however, no area in which the problems of scheduling are dawn more sharply into focus than in the field of production. Indeed, much of the terminology employed in scheduling theory derives from the production context, simply because in the past the bulk of research activity has traditionally been directed at problems identified in manufacturing terms.
