Objectives of the Course

The aim of this course is to show the scheduling problems faced in both manufacturing and service organizations and to teach the different solution methods of those problems from the first principle techniques to complex algorithms and computer-aided scheduling systems for the students.

Learning Outcomes		PO	MME
The students who succeeded in this course:
LO-1	Can transparently define the meaning and importance of scheduling activity and show the top-down relationship among the different planning levels.	PO-7 The candidate can search theoretical and practical knowledge and skills which can gained in the field of Business Administration, can determine these knowledge and skills how it is used in practice and field analysis, can adapt and analyze these knowledge and skills, can make critical decisions, and can apply by reaching synthesis.	Examination
LO-2	Can define the performance criterion/criteria and develop evaluation measures for a scheduling.	PO-7 The candidate can search theoretical and practical knowledge and skills which can gained in the field of Business Administration, can determine these knowledge and skills how it is used in practice and field analysis, can adapt and analyze these knowledge and skills, can make critical decisions, and can apply by reaching synthesis.
