Chapter 6. Business Resource Planner

Business Resource Planner is a lightweight, embeddable planning engine that optimizes planning problems. It helps Java™ developers solve planning problems efficiently. It combines optimization heuristics and metaheuristics with very efficient score calculations.

The planner helps to solve various use cases, for example:

  • Employee/Patient Rosters: the planner helps to create timetables for nurses and keeps track of patient bed management.
  • Educational Timetables: the planner helps to schedule lessons, courses, exams, and conference presentations.
  • Shop Schedules: the planner tracks car assembly lines, machine queue planning, and workforce task planning.
  • Cutting Stock: the planner minimizes waste by reducing the consumption of resources such as paper and steel.
