The system prototype was developed and implemented using Microsoft visual studio 2005 as an interface and SQL server 2005 for database. This scheduling system can be adopted for use in industries, schools, hospitals and other institutions that require scheduling production.
To mitigate the problems caused by this complexity, a decision support system for production scheduling for the implementation of scheduling system is presented in this study, which integrates various scheduling techniques forcing the researcher to come up with new idea of developing a decision support system for coca-cola company.
