Abstract

A schedule optimizing algorithm improves scheduling quality, reducing a schedules cycle time and requiring only marginal increase in computer execution time. Lower quality computerized scheduling programs are substantially improved through the additional steps of sequential left time shifting and right time shifting of respective chronologically sorted completion time and starting time task listings.
