Scheduling and Gantt Chart:
Prepare a 800-word minimum paper (excluding title page and references), that addresses the following:
- Explain the relationship between short-term scheduling, capacity planning, aggregate planning, and a master schedule.
- Contrast the methods and techniques for creating a schedule and the circumstances under which each is best suited for application.
- Create a load or scheduling Gantt chart. As an operations or project manager, building Gantt charts is a valuable skill. For this assignment, you will be building a basic load or scheduling Gantt chart created in Microsoft Excel with a narrative explaining the data points. It is important that you select an event or process with several elements associated with it. For this assignment, there should be a minimum of 20 elements and preferably more. The event or process should be of a professional service or production/manufacturing nature. The Gantt chart will be submitted in Microsoft Excel and will include a workbook and bar chart. The narrative in this section of your paper will explain the Gantt Chart.
