The subject of this study was course arrangement for talent classes, and the objectives were to explore how to use mathematical models to maximize the efficient use of the telnet class resources while achieving operation optimization by ＂making the best possible use of talents and materials.＂ This study focused on how to establish the restriction and parameter hypotheses under the various combinations of constraints such as the number of teachers, the number of classes, the needs of the different teaching levels, the lengths of the courses, the maximum number of students per course, as well as the hardware resource arrangements in search of the optimized operation method.
The traditional manual course arrangement method not only is laborious and time-consuming; the human factors may also affect the scheduling fairness. In this study, we considered the principles of accuracy and fairness, adopted the LINGO software that specializes in mathematical planning, and used the fast computer calculation functions to optimize the problem solving process. The results of this study proved that the mathematical integer programming method can indeed effectively resolve the class scheduling problems while enhancing implementation efficiency and avoiding numerous course arrangement problems when compared to the manual course arrangement method used in the past. The mathematical integer programming method can make full advantage of the existing human resources, avoid waste, relatively enhance the accuracy of the course arrangement operations by the decision-makers, and improve enterprise operation competitiveness.
Keywords: Course arrangement, integer programming, manpower deployment, optimization, LINGO.
