This book provides a theoretical and application-oriented analysis of deterministic scheduling problems in advanced planning and computer systems. The text examines scheduling problems across a range of parameters: job priority, release times, due dates, processing times, precedence constraints, resource usage and more, focusing on such topics as computer systems and supply chain management. Discussion includes single and parallel processors, flexible shops and manufacturing systems, and resource-constrained project scheduling. Many applications from industry and service operations management and case studies are described. The handbook will be useful to a broad audience, from researchers to practitioners, graduate and advanced undergraduate students.

Weglarz, Jan was born on September 24, 1947 in Poznan, Poland. Son of Józef and Irena (Held) Weglarz.
Master of Science in Mathematics, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan, 1969. Master of Science in Control Engineering, Technology University, Poznan, 1971. Doctor of Philosophy in Control Systems, Technology University, Poznan, 1974.
Certified in Operations Research, Technology University, Poznan, 1977.
His current research focuses on operations research. He started work there in 1971. He received a doctorate in 1974, and habilitation in 1977.
In 1988 he received the title of professor
Author of 12 monographs in Computer Science, Operation Research, Decision Theory, et cetera Author of more than 200 articles
He discovered the so-called two-phase method, but unfortunately he published his discovery in a Polish journal, so the discovery was ignored. Western scientists received accolades instead.
He refused many offers to move to the West and opted for his own research team in Poland.
He participated in the development of Elwro Polish computers. He received honorary doctorates ("doktorat honoris causa") from several Polish institutions: Szczecin University of Technology (Politechnika Szczecińska) (December 10, 2001), Akademia Górniczo-Hutnicza im. Stanisława Staszica University of Science and Technology (October 16, 2002), Częstochowa University of Technology (Politechnika Częstochowska) (April 22, 2005), Poznań University of Technology (January 14, 2006), Gdansk University of Technology (Politechnika Gdańska) (April 16, 2008), University of Silesia (Uniwersytet Śląski) (July 2, 2008), University of Zielona Góra (June 5, 2009).
