Scheduling Intelligent System for Time Shortening

TL;DR

This paper introduces a scheduling intelligent system that integrates a time buffer method with PERT to shorten project timelines, adapt to unexpected changes, and assist users through a graphical interface in project management.

Contribution

The paper presents a novel scheduling system combining PERT with a time buffer method, featuring real-time adjustments and user guidance for efficient project time management.

Findings

Successfully shortened project timelines in case studies.

System effectively adapts to unexpected delays.

Provides real-time warnings and suggestions for project adjustments.

Abstract

The paper presents a scheduling intelligent system intended for the project management and for the operation management as well, having integrated a planner time buffer method combined with the PERT (Programme Evaluation and Review Technique) method which can drastically short the planned time. The system also adjusts if necessary the duration for the un-expecting situations during the evolution of the planner recalculating the probability to reach the deadline. The system is developed with a friendly graphical interface, which guide the user during the progress of the project providing warnings and suggestions for adjusting in real time the planner. Once the scheduling intelligent system is launched in progress, its functions are combined at the different levels, depending of the user needs. The base functions of the system are: planning, diagnosis, supervising and forecast. A real implementation is showed as a study case, is related to a software development planner.
