Abstract: This paper presents a review of the applicability of scheduling techniques in practice. Both the operations research and the artificial intelligence research communities have produced a number of reports on the applicability of techniques, often in isolation from each other, although the problems encountered seem largely similar in each case. Moreover, studies on the role of humans in production scheduling are reviewed. Papers that discuss the use of techniques by humans are also discussed. The paper suggests ways in which the applicability of scheduling techniques might be improved.
