gantt chart maker for scheduling algorithms

Scheduling, as part of organizational techniques used in the enterprise, combined with other resources (e.g. A well-prepared schedule ensures manufacturing stability and minimizes decision-making uncertainty. One of the key but at the same time the most difficult tasks in manufacturing management is task scheduling. The aim is to minimize costs, while preserving the assumed level of production, while ensuring the quality of the offered products / services. Production management in a modern company combines production engineering, organizational technology and staff experience.

The concept of an algorithm that supports the process of scheduling production tasks, developed and tested by conducting simulations, can be the basis for developing a computer application supporting decision-making process in a manufacturing or service company. The designed system will use single-attribute priority rules (defined by experts) and multi-attribute rules that can be created by combining single-attribute rules. The designed algorithm performs a task queue creation process in six steps: selecting a schedule type, declaring a queue length, selecting orders for queue development, loading data, automatic job analysis, and queue and Gantt chart generation, taking a decision on the acceptance of the designed production program.
