Preface to the Sixth Edition
ThefirsteditionofthisbookappearedintheFallof1994andwasadoptedinthat
semesterasatextbookforMasterslevelschedulingcoursesatseveraluniversities,
includingColumbiaUniversityandtheUniversityofMichiganatAnnArbor.Since
then the book has been used as a text for scheduling courses at dozens of univer-
sities worldwide, including Dortmund, Georgia Tech, Graz, National Chiao Tung,
POSTECH,Purdue,Siena,TehranPolytechnic,Tsinghua,andWaterloo.Ithasbeen
translatedinChineseandinFarsi.
Sincethereleaseofthefirsteditionin1994,theschedulingfieldhasseenmany
newdevelopmentsthatareofinteresttotheoreticiansandpractitionersalike.Clearly,
neweditionsofthebook,withextensionsindifferentdirections,weretobeexpected.
However, the basic general setup and structure of the book has not changed over
the years. It still consists of three main parts: Deterministic Models, Stochastic
Models,andSchedulinginPractice.TherearealsofourAppendixesthatpresentthe
basics of mathematical programming, dynamic programming, constraint program-
ming, and complexity theory, as well as three Appendixes that provide overviews
ofthecomplexitystatusesofseveralclassesofdeterministicschedulingproblems,
of the tractability of a variety of stochastic scheduling problems, and of the latest
developmentsinschedulingsystemdesignsandimplementations.
Sinceitsintroductionin1994thisbookhasundergoneanumberofexpansions,
withextensionsinareasthathavearousedinterestinacademiaaswellasinindustry.
These extensions have included over the years multi-objective scheduling, batch
scheduling, and proportionate flow shop scheduling. The additions in this sixth
editionincludedeterministicflowshopmodelswithreentry(i.e.,schedulingmodels
thatareofinteresttothesemiconductormanufacturingindustry),stochasticmodels
with due date related objective functions, Fixed Parameter Tractability (FPT) of
deterministic scheduling problems, as well as more discussions regarding recent
scheduling system implementations. The latest updates of the various tables in
AppendixesE,F,andGhavebeenextensive.

The Gantt Chart: Its Originators
Every practitioner and researcher in the scheduling field has used Gantt charts as
a scheduling tool. The origins of these famous charts are interesting; they were
developed independently in Poland and in the US in the late nineteenth and early
twentiethcentury.
In 1896 the Polish engineer and economist Karol Adamiecki developed what
he called the harmonogram, which he used in the management of a steel rolling
millinsouthernPoland.AdamieckipublishedhistechniquesinthePolishmagazine
PrzegladTechniczny(TechnicalReview)in1909.
Shortlythereafter,HenryLaurenceGantt,anindustrialengineerworkinginthe
steelindustryintheUS,developed hischartsforevaluatingproductionschedules.
Gantt discussed the principles underlying his charts in his book “Organizing for
Work,”whichwaspublishedjustbeforehisdeathin1919.SinceGanttcommunicated
inEnglishandAdamieckiinPolish,thesetypesofchartsareintheEnglishliterature
usuallyreferredtoasGanttcharts.
Thechartscurrentlybeingusedinrealworlddecisionsupportsystemsareattimes
somewhatdifferentfromtheoriginalsdevelopedbyAdamieckiandGantt,intheir
