Overall Educational Objective To acquire knowledge and skills to analyze, design, and implement efficient scheduling algorithms to optimize resource utilization and minimize production makespan in various industrial settings.
Course Description This course introduces students to fundamental scheduling problems, their complexity, and algorithmic approaches to solve them. Through theoretical discussions, practical examples, and hands-on exercises, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of scheduling challenges and strategies to address them.
Course Description in Turkish Bu ders, öğrencilere temel çizelgeleme problemlerini, bunların karmaşıklığını ve bunları çözmek için algoritmik yaklaşımları tanıtır. Teorik tartışmalar, pratik örnekler ve uygulamalı alıştırmalar yoluyla öğrenciler, planlama zorlukları ve bunları ele almak için stratejiler hakkında kapsamlı bir anlayış kazanacaklardır.

Course Learning Outcomes and Competences

Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) identify and classify machine scheduling problems, their characteristics and complexities,
2) analyze and evaluate classic scheduling algorithms and heuristics,
3) design and develop effective strategies to optimize machine schedules,
4) apply scheduling theory to real-life cases.
