Scheduling (production processes) Scheduling is the process of arranging, controlling and optimizing work and workloads in a production process or manufacturing process. Scheduling is used to allocate plant and machinery resources, plan human resources, plan production processes and purchase materials. It is an important tool for manufacturing and engineering, where it can have a major impact on the productivity of a process. In manufacturing, the purpose of scheduling is to minimize the production time and costs, by telling a p
degree of freedom. n. 1. (General Physics) physics one of the minimum number of parameters necessary to describe a state or property of a system. 2. (General Physics) one of the independent components of motion (translation, vibration, and rotation) of an atom or molecule.
Degrees of Freedom. The degrees of freedom for age is equal to the number of ages minus one. That is: 2 - 1 = 1. The degrees of freedom for the error term for age is equal to the total number of subjects minus the number of groups: 8 - 2 = 6. The degrees of freedom for trials is equal to the number of trials - 1: 5 - 1 = 4. The degrees of freedom for the Age x Trials interaction is equal to the product of the degrees of freedom for age (1) and the degrees of freedom for trials (4) = 1 x 4 = 4.
