Description
Smartiming is an R&D contract project focused on developing an optimizer for shift schedules and timetables for companies and educational institutions. By using matheuristic techniques — combining mathematical programming methods with metaheuristics — the system generates high-quality schedules that respect the operational, educational, and organizational constraints of each entity.
The resulting tool allows the shift assignment, duty planning, and class timetabling processes to be automated and significantly improved, reducing management costs and increasing end-user satisfaction.
For confidentiality reasons, no further information is provided about the contracting entity or the specific details of the project.
