Abstract
This chapter describes a number of general purpose procedures that are useful in dealing with scheduling problems in practice and that can be implemented with relative ease in industrial scheduling systems. All the techniques described are heuristics that do not guarantee an optimal solution; they instead aim at finding reasonably good solutions in a relatively short time. The heuristics tend to be fairly generic and can be adapted easily to a large variety of scheduling problems
