  • Scheduling apparatus, scheduling method, and computer program
    Patent number: 10380523
    Abstract: Resources, product classes, processes, and product orders are registered in mutual association. From the information of product classes, processes, and resources, variables and constants used when formulating an objective function and a constraint expression are constructed. A constraint setting screen is displayed which includes contents of the constraint expression described by using the selection input field of identification information of the product classes, processes, and resources. Based on a result of selective input to this constraint setting screen, the contents of constraint are set. Further, an object setting screen is displayed which includes the contents of an object described using the product classes and processes and text information indicating the contents of the object, and a selection input field thereof. The contents of the object are registered based on a result of selective input to this object setting screen.
