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.
The total number of items in a sample minus the number of independent. relationships existing among them; the divisor used to calculate a variance term; in the simplest cases, it is one less than the number of observations. Degrees of. freedom refers to how many variables in a single system are free to vary.
