Abstract

The allocation of resources problem faced by academic institutions involves the assignment of faculty-course-time that must be performed periodically. This problem is becoming more complex when there is conflicting goals between department and faculty members. The scheduling of faculty members has to satisfy departmental policies as well as recognizing the personal preferences of faculty members for teaching particular courses during certain time period. This paper formulates a faculty-course-time scheduling as a zero-one integer programming model. The model could take into account faculty members’ preferences to courses and times while meeting department requirements. The objectives are satisfied using ‘preemptive’ philosophy, based on their relative importance. This model solution is obtained by using LINDO optimization software version 61. The result of application of this model to Department of Management, Maranatha Christian University, Bandung shows the model’s capability to provide scheduling that overcome conflicting goals between faculty members and departmental policies by minimizing undesirable deviation from objectives.
