Scheduling Workshop Series

The PBS Scheduling Workshop is the first in an ongoing series of topical workshops, the vision for which began several years ago and was further reinforced from member feedback after last year’s Scheduling Conference. We look forward to collaborating with all our scheduling experts at the PBS Workshop and future workshops in areas such as scheduling production and daily operations.
