Planning and scheduling relates with Chapter 7 of the IISE Body of Knowledge, “Operations Engineering and Management” that refers to operations planning and production scheduling. The tools and techniques in this chapter have been applied for more than 40 years in manufacturing and service industries to ensure efficient business operations.
