What is Scheduling? And why do we need it?

Why do we need to schedule work load through a business? And what benefits can be realised by doing it? These are the two most fundamental questions asked when justifying the need for a scheduling application.

For any scheduling process to work it means we must know:

• The status of all the work which is required or in progress
• What resources are required for each stage of the process
• The constraints which govern the resource
• When these resources will be required and when are they available, or expect to be available

What benefits can we expect from utilising a solution like Uplanit?
