This Timefold Model exposes an API that helps your software assign tasks to machines and employees, optimizing to increase the number of jobs that can be completed while also minimizing the makespan.
Service quality
Time windows
DOCSStart and finish jobs within their time windows to ensure jobs are finished on time.
Time management
DOCSReduce the overall makespan of jobs to balance the workload and meet deadlines.
Job dependencies
DOCSSequence jobs in the right order, ensuring they have the right delays between them and are coordinated on the same machines when required.
Resource transitions
DOCSManage transitions between resources effectively so that prep work and post cleanup are part of the schedule.
Tags and specific resources
DOCSAssign jobs to machines and employees and use tags to include additional information about jobs, machines, and employees.
Planning processes
Resource limited planning
DOCSWith too few resources for all the work, schedule as much (priority) work as possible.
