Optimization and Scheduling

Workflows get messy. Planning gets complicated. We help you make everything feel lighter.
Make smarter decisions with intelligent scheduling and optimization
.


  Every organisation reaches a point where spreadsheets, manual planning, and basic tools just can’t keep up anymore.
Too many rules. Too many changes. Too many things that must be right. 

That’s where automation and intelligent scheduling become more than a “nice-to-have” — they become essential. 

With OptaPlanner as the optimization engine, you can turn complex planning problems into schedules that actually work in the real world — fair, efficient, and quick to update when life happens.

Why It Matters?

Modern businesses face constant change — shifting demand, limited resources, and increasing expectations.
Making the right decision at the right time is harder than ever. Optimization engines like OptaPlanner help organisations:

evaluate thousands of possibilities in seconds

choose the most efficient plan

react quickly to changes

keep people and resources aligned

When everything works together, your team spends less time fixing problems and more time moving forward.

Where It Helps

Here are some real-world areas where optimization and smart scheduling make an immediate impact:

Workforce scheduling

Academic timetabling

Route and delivery planning

Arranging lessons, exams, and classroom usage without conflicts.

Creating fair, balanced staff rosters that consider skills, availability, and operational needs.

Mapping out efficient paths for logistics, transportation, or service teams.

Task coordination

Asset Management

Cloud Resource Balancing

Managing maintenance, field service, or internal appointments in a predictable way.

Distributing digital workloads across servers to keep systems running smoothly.

Organizing inventory, shipments, or physical assets to reduce waste and improve efficiency.

If your challenge involves assigning people, time, or resources, OptaPlanner can make it simpler and more efficient.

Use Case Highlight: Flight Attendant & Crew Scheduling

Airlines rely on advanced crew management systems, yet scheduling flight attendants and crew remains one of the most complex operational challenges. Each schedule must balance route demands, qualifications, regulations, rest periods, personal preferences, and constant operational changes.

Most systems can track this information — but they struggle with the optimization part.

This is where OptaPlanner becomes essential. It acts as the optimization and scheduling engine beneath existing systems, processing every rule and generating schedules that are fair, efficient, and compliant.

What improves with OptaPlanner:

  • Optimized and balanced crew assignments

  • Automatic compliance with safety and duty regulations

  • Better alignment with crew availability and preferences

  • Faster adjustments during delays or last-minute changes

  • More time for planners to focus on strategy and operations

OptaPlanner transforms a complicated, reactive scheduling process into a predictable, intelligent workflow that supports growth, reduces operational stress, and keeps flights running smoothly.
