| Disgrifiad: | Based on the optimization model proposed by Saltos and Benavides in 2019, in this research article we propose a new mixed-integer linear programming model to solve the university course timetabling problem. We approach the case of the Computing and Telecommunications School of a private university in Ecuador. The model is novel because it simultaneously incorporates the assignment of classrooms and the scheduling of the subjects that will be taught during the semester. Using the AIMMS modeler, we got a feasible solution in less than 20 seconds, while optimizing several quality indicators set by the academic coordination. The results highlight the importance of using Operations Research as a support tool in decision-making, especially in combinatorial problems that take weeks to solve manually. |
