A Comparative Analysis of the Online Scheduling System

Abstract

Scheduling system is developed based on customers, individuals or organizational preferences in order to create an efficient and effective management of arrangement in prioritization, tasks, place and time. Some of scheduling systems will integrate a database for effective access of editing, viewing and recording amount of data. However, poor scheduling practices would cause undesirable time redundancy and inefficient process just to schedule a timetable for the lecturers and students. Poor scheduling also can cause a misunderstanding between lectures such as double-assignations of lectures, cancellations of presentations, clash in class schedule, prolonged postponement as well as inefficiency in terms of resources and time. A good scheduling system could generate optimal presentation of timetables and enable a direct interaction between lecturers and administration staff that will take into account all the constraints such as to check availability of time and place of events and real-time updates that will help data handling accuracy, cost effective and efficient time management.  Therefore, this study will make a comparison and execute a standard process of scheduling framework for future practice in academic industry. This paper presents a practical method for making a comparison based on the studies on existing scheduling system.
