Business Scheduling
Business scheduling is a process that ensures the creation of plan to organize the various
and rather complex projects. Proper scheduling of business process such as basic activities like
planning shifts or placing orders to large projects like rearranging operational departments or
constructing more amenities directly translates to how a business performs. Businesses employee
the use of various (scheduling) tools to help with the arrangement of tasks and plans. Scheduling
tools may be manual or digital in the form of specialized scheduling software. The most common
scheduling tools include the “Program Evaluation and Review System” abbreviated as “PERT”
or the otherwise called “Critical Path Method, CPM”, in short as well as the Gant Chart (Ingram,
n.d.).
The PERT or CPM take note of the minute processes within a complex business project
and puts them in the right order and determines the earliest as well as the latest start and end
times for individual processes to ensure that a project uses the least time (Ingram, n.d.). A Gant
chart is much simpler compared to the PERT/CPM and serves a similar purpose. A scheduling
software enables a business to handle larger scheduling concerns owing to its efficiency in
conducting complex calculations.
