Course Scheduling Model for the Naval Training Command.

Abstract

The course scheduling process is labor intensive throughout the Naval Education and Training Command. This process entails generation and maintaining of schedules to meet planned input requirements, subject to the suitability/availability of instructors, training devices, and classroom facilities. The process is further complicated by nonuniform course lengths and start dates, varying class sizes, student/instructor ratios, course resource interactions and dependencies, and delays in resource acquisitions. The purpose of this report is to present the Training Management System (TMS) course scheduling system and to provide a user's guide for the operation of the system. The course scheduling system provides an easy and efficient means of handling the large volume of data necessary to generate a feasible schedule for courses in a schoolhouse. The system is highly interactive and user oriented and is intended for use at the schoolhouse level. The program software is written in BASIC-2 and is designed to operate on a Wang 2200 system.
