Scheduling is explicitly part of our lives. We schedule everything, and need to in order to plan our resources accordingly. When business schedule tasks on a large scale, any inefficiencies in the schedule could magnify into problems for meeting demand, issues for customers, increases in costs, etc. This assignment uses Johnson's Rule to schedule several events in order to reduce idle time in a manufacturing process.
This assignment requires you apply Scheduling Theory in order to optimize a schedule of events and reduce lost productivity.
