What is Scheduling?Scheduling is deciding in advance when the work will be performed, where it will be performed , what kind of resources will be used and how much they will be used. The scheduling process is usually connected with scheduling systems, policies, techniques, and/or devices. In this context the scheduling process centers around:
- Time to perform the work,
- The machine/resource which will perform the work,
- The number of resources to be applied,
- Validation work progress versus work scheduled, and
- Monitoring and reporting.
