Chapter 9. Business Resource Planner

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

Planner helps solve various use cases like the following:

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