Scheduling is a critical activity in asset-intensive organizations. Despite its importance, though, scheduling is usually performed manually or with unsophisticated software tools. Most of the commonly-used software tools that purport to provide scheduling capabilities actually don’t: the user is expected to make all the decisions about how to assemble a schedule. This places limitations on the process itself, and its results:

• It’s difficult, time-consuming, and error-prone;
• It’s not effective in operational environments that change as a result of planned or unplanned events;
• It doesn’t provide any objective measure of schedule quality;
• It doesn’t support collaboration;
• It perpetuates scheduling folklore, and
• The process is in somebody’s head.
