The designing of comprehensive schedules is one of the most complex tasks for any enterprise, especially an educational / training institute. This involves students across various courses, subjects, batches, and lectures. The schedule depends upon the availability of critical resources like faculty and classrooms, over a given period of time. The resource constraints such as faculty (number, availability, competency areas and levels), classrooms (number, location, capacity), courses, batches, timings, venues, and holidays, other institutional and external constraints need to be optimally deployed. This dictates the need for a very thorough scheduling system.

Scheduling is essentially a process of optimization, taking resource constraints into consideration, and maintaining peak levels of service quality. Considering the extent of complexity involved, automation of the entire scheduling process would thus be a core necessity for an educational/training institute.

The Planning and Scheduling module offered by Calibre^®CAMUS covers all the elements of scheduling, as would be required by an institute. Planning and Scheduling of courses is an area that consumes considerable resources in terms of human effort and time. This solution addresses such concerns, and automates all scheduling related activities.
