Advanced Schedule Planning
Optimum schedules are constructed, based on user-specified rules and parameters. Thus schedules can be generated based on a work load (list of tasks) that is specific to your operation. Task lists can be created manually or generated automatically and then modified as required. Users can manually lock in decisions at any point in the automated planning process. Final schedules produced are based on decisions made by users during meetings with the study team.
In order to meet your needs efficiently, Optime™ uses the latest mathematical models derived from Operations Research and CORETEX, a new generation optimization engine developed by Omega Optimization.
