Abstract

Most of the institution faces the timetabling problem in academic, sports, health,transportation, etc. In particular, academic institution faces the three types of problems as assignment of courses, examination timetabling and school timetabling. To evaluate valid and efficient course timetable is not easy task. In this paper, mathematical model of multi-objective faculty course timeslot assignment problem (MOFCTSAP) is formulated in two phases and its solution is achieved based on average of preferences given by the faculty for courses per hour taught, average of preferences of all faculties, administrator preferences as well as feedback and result based preferences. Fuzzy programming technique is applied to solve multi-objective faculty course timeslot assignment problem (MOFCTSAP) and found results using LINGO 18.0 software.
