Class Objectives
/Class Outline
Scheduling plays an important role in effective utilization of systems, especially manufacturing systems. Basic scheduling theories and strict optimization methods are introduced. As many scheduling problems belong to NP hard, heuristic solution methods are also presented. 
Class Schedule Lesson 1: Basics of scheduling
Lesson 2: Scheduling on single processor (1): minimizing makespan
Lesson 3: Scheduling on single processor (2): minimizing flow time
Lesson 4: Scheduling on single processor (3): minimizing due date involving criteria
Lesson 5: Scheduling on single processor (4): stochastic environment
Lesson 6: Scheduling on parallel processors (1): list scheduling
Lesson 7: Scheduling on parallel processors (2): minimizing makespan or flow time
Lesson 8: Scheduling in flow shops
Lesson 9: Scheduling in open shops
Lesson 10: Scheduling in job shops (1): disjuntive graph model
Lesson 11: Scheduling in job shops (2): exact methods
Lesson 12: Scheduling in job shops (3): heuristic methods
Lesson 13: Project scheduling (1): basic models
Lesson 14: Project scheduling (2): resource-constrained models
Lesson 15: Recent research trends in scheduling

In lessons 2 to 15, a mini-test will be scheduled first.

Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review
Prepare for the mini-test by reviewing related materials. 
Requirements The structure of one lesson is as follows:
(1) mini-test, (1) presentation and discussion of assigned task, and (3) lecture with exercise. 
Grading Method Score of the mini-test (50 points), preparation and presentation of the assigned task (30 points),  activities in the class (questions, exercises, etc.) (20 points).  A passing grade requires 60 points or higher.
