New Developments in Project Scheduling

Abstract

Examines project scheduling advances in a job‐shop or order‐driven environment. Scheduling is an important part of the project management process. Some antiquated ideas remain, but many dramatic advances have been made, primarily due to computer‐based solutions. Today′s scheduler can take advantage of both personal computer‐based and larger system‐based software. Describes “Timeline”, a program for common personal computers, and “Jobscope”, a package for mid‐size machines.
