ILOG Optimization Suite

Constraint based scheduling

The ILOG Scheduler™ add on module supplements ILOG Solver in solving business problems involving task scheduling over given time spans.

ILOG Scheduler's modeling objects let you model resources, activities and temporal constraints intuitively. Its state of the art algorithms quickly and accurately compute the schedules best adapted to your business and capacity constraints.

Model your business rules quickly and easily

ILOG Scheduler lets you model your resource breakdown structures, work breakdown structures, bills of material, product routings, intermediate stocks, etc., directly by using adapted structures:

• Activities: release and due dates of tasks
• Precedence constraints: task ordering rules and preferences
• Unary resources: those that perform a single activity at a time such as production machines
• Consumable resources: limited resources such as manpower, budgets and raw materials
• Reservoirs: replenishable items such as raw materials and stocks
• Static resources: those with fixed configurations such as painting booths
• Routing structures: alternative product routings

Compute accurate and efficient schedules

ILOG Scheduler provides state of the art operations research and finite capacity scheduling algorithms to solve your problems with unmatched efficiency. As needed, you can drive ILOG Scheduler algorithms with your specific search strategies to achieve additional improvements. It supports interactive scheduling, availability to promise, simulation, and what-if analysis.

React to unforeseen events

In the real world, breakdowns, delays and unforeseen events are a fact of life. ILOG Scheduler allows you to integrate new information and develop revised schedules as needed, while minimizing the impact of such events on current schedules.
