Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Forward scheduling starts with the present time and continues into the future, determining when tasks or operations should start based on the available time, resources, and capacity. The other options mentioned are either too specific (detailed scheduling and staff scheduling) or too high-level (master production scheduling) for the given description. Backward scheduling, on the other hand, starts with a due date or delivery date and works backward to determine when tasks or operations should start.
