Introduction
Lekin scheduling software is a scheduling system developed at the Stern School of Business, NYU. The module helps the user in job-shop scheduling.
What is LEKIN?
LEKIN scheduling software was created as an educational tool with the main purpose of introducing the students to scheduling theory and its applications. Additionally, the system’s extensibility allows (and encourages) to use it in algorithm development. Major parts of the system were designed and coded by Columbia University students. The project has been directed by Professor Michael L. Pinedo, Professor Xiuli Chao and Professor Joseph Leung. This development has been partially supported by the National Science Foundation.The demo version of the software, which is ideal for teaching scheduling, can be downloaded through search from the Internet.
Features of Lekin:
- 6 basic workspace environments: single machine, parallel machines, flow shop, flexible flow shop, job shop, and flexible job shop.
- A set of sample problems.
- More than 60 standard benchmark problems from different sources (not available in the free version)
