Literature

• PINEDO, Michael. Planning and Scheduling in Manufacturing and Services. Springer, 2005. Springer Series in Operations Research. info

Teaching methods

The course is taught in the form of a standard lecture. Lectures are oriented on the presentation of various solving methods for different types of scheduling problems. Lectures include exercises to practice studied methods. A comprehensive list of exercises related to the subject covers all studied areas and allows self-study. Two ROPOTs provide further practice.

Assessment methods

There is the following expected evaluation given as a sum of points for two written exams together with bonus points: A 90 and more, B 80-89, C 70-79, D 60-69, E 55-59.
There is one written test during a semester. It is possible to get points up to 20 points. Each student is required to obtain 8 points, at least from the total point of 20 points.
Two answer sheets will be made available during the semester, from Friday to Sunday. Up to 2.5 points can be earned for each answer sheet, and any number of passes are allowed, with the best pass being awarded.
Each student can get 1 bonus point for an activity in each lecture (e.g., student response to several easy questions and/or student questions to clarify some part of the lecture; student response to one harder question).
The final written exam consists of about 7 examples, and it is possible to get up to 80 points. It is necessary to get more than 40 out of 75 points. The exam includes questions: examples (the problem is given, the choice of method might be given, typical solution: computation of the schedule), comparisons of methods or definitions, algorithms, and definitions. A list of about 240 questions is available as a source for written exams.

It is possible to get up to about 24 bonus points based on the number of lectures.
The final examination will be adjusted to the form of the online exam and to the number of enrolled students. In the case of a smaller number of students, the online oral exam will be completed, otherwise, a written exam will be done. The final written exam consists of about 7 examples and it is possible to get up to 80 points. It is necessary to get 40 out of 80 points at least.

Bonus points will be given starting from the second lecture, i.e., it is possible to get up to 11 bonus points for activity at eleven lectures.
The exam is in the form of an oral distance exam. The minimal number of points per exam is 40 out of 80. The teacher asks the student questions from several different areas of the subject during the examination. Tested knowledge will require understanding, orientation, and an overview of the issue. The student will typically not use their own materials during the exam, but questions will be asked so that their use does not affect the result of the exam.

Teaching methods

The course is taught in the form of standard lecture. Lectures are oriented on presentation of various solving methods for different types of scheduling problems. Lectures include exercises to practice studied methods. Comprehensive list of exercises related to the subject covers all studied areas and allows self-study.

Assessment methods

Final written exam (about 9 examples, 100 points). There is following evaluation A 90 and more, B 80-89, C 70-79, D 60-69, E 55-59. Exam includes questions: examples (the problem is given, the choice of method might be given, typical solution: computation of the schedule), comparisons of methods or definitions, algorithms, definitions. A list of about 240 questions is available as a source for written exams.
Bonus examples are available on random lectures, only students taking a part in the lecture can send their solution to the teacher. It is possible to get points for correct or almost correct solution only. Each student is required to obtain bonus points for one task at least. Bonus points can be added to the final exam points to improve evaluation.
