Mathematical model and simulation for timetabling in mathematics Department of Bandung Institute of Technology.

A process to give teaching assignments for the teachers or lecturers to the available days and times by meeting certain goals is called timetabling. The lecturer's availability, number of courses, type of courses, number of course credits, classroom availability, course start time, and course end time are the factors that affect the learning schedule that makes timetabling complicated especially in university. Therefore, by using a mathematical optimization model, timetabling process becomes easier. Although many mathematical models have been made to do timetabling, there is no general model that can use in every university. In this paper, Binary Integer Programming is used to build the learning schedule in the Mathematics Study Program of Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB). The compulsory courses do not overlap, the courses with the same year are evenly distributed, the lecturer's schedule being unable to teach, the lecturer's schedule shouldn't be teaching, and the lecturer's schedule should be teaching become the consideration in this paper. Then, based on the given data, there are three outputs, that is the schedule of the lecturers, the schedule based on the course year, and the schedule based on the day. The schedule that has been made based on the model is quite good and can be implemented in the daily life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
