Timetabling for higher education

Increasing demands on expensive and scarce resources in education are forcing the industry to adopt management styles that emphasize more efficient utilisation of time, money and resources, both human and physical. Academic timetables assign resources to teaching activities, and represent the most accurate measure of how efficient the organisation is in terms of utilisation. Educational institutions also provide a valuable and complex service to literally thousands of students, whose satisfaction can be one of the institution's greatest assets.

And yet, many institutions still rely on manual timetabling techniques involving hundreds of wasted man-hours, or computer-assisted methods that merely create working timetables, without attempting to optimise the allocation and utilisation of resources.

Because time and resource utilisation have direct financial implications, an improvement of even a few percent could lead to a substantial reduction in costs for an institution. Imagine being able to avoid constructing a new building by making better use of existing venues. Or of increasing student performance and throughput by providing all students with completely clash-free and evenly spread exam timetables.

o!Timetabling presents a new way of thinking about the complex problems of timetable planning, making timetables an asset for the organisation and managing them to provide more efficient service to students and staff. Our products combine the power of modern computers with the world's best mathematical optimisation methods from our partner ILOG. We provide tools that address the most common timetabling problems, while being flexible enough to handle unusual constraints and requests that might be unique to an institution.

What really sets o! apart is the ability to truly optimise resource utilisation, all within the framework of user-specified constraints and zero-clash solutions.
