Résumé
A schedule or a timetable, as a basic time-management tool, consists of a list of times at which possible tasks, events, or actions are intended to take place, or of a sequence of events in the chronological order in which such things are intended to take place. The process of creating a schedule — deciding how to order these tasks and how to commit resources between the variety of possible tasks — is called scheduling, and a person responsible for making a particular schedule may be called a scheduler. Making and following schedules is an ancient human activity. Some scenarios associate this kind of planning with learning life skills. Schedules are necessary, or at least useful, in situations where individuals need to know what time they must be at a specific location to receive a specific service, and where people need to accomplish a set of goals within a set time period. Schedules can usefully span both short periods, such as a daily or weekly schedule, and long-term planning with respect to periods of several months or years. They are often made using a calendar, where the person making the schedule can note the dates and times at which various events are planned to occur. Schedules that do not set forth specific times for events to occur may instead list algorithmically an expected order in which events either can or must take place. In some situations, schedules can be uncertain, such as where the conduct of daily life relies on environmental factors outside human control. People who are vacationing or otherwise seeking to reduce stress and achieve relaxation may intentionally avoid having a schedule for a certain period of time. Certain kinds of schedules reflect information that is generally made available to the public, so that members of the public can plan certain activities around them. These may include things like: Hours of operation of businesses, tourist attractions, and government offices, which allow consumers of these services to know when they can obtain them.

Scheduling (production processes)
Scheduling is the process of arranging, controlling and optimizing work and workloads in a production process or manufacturing process. Scheduling is used to allocate plant and machinery resources, plan human resources, plan production processes and purchase materials. It is an important tool for manufacturing and engineering, where it can have a major impact on the productivity of a process. In manufacturing, the purpose of scheduling is to keep due dates of customers and then minimize the production time and costs, by telling a production facility when to make, with which staff, and on which equipment.
Diagramme de Gantt
Le diagramme de Gantt est un outil utilisé (souvent en complément d'un réseau PERT) en ordonnancement et en gestion de projet et permettant de visualiser dans le temps les diverses tâches composant un projet. Il s'agit d'une représentation d'un graphe connexe, valué et orienté, qui permet de représenter graphiquement l'avancement du projet. Le premier diagramme de ce type (appelé Harmonogram Adamieckiego) fut réalisé par l'ingénieur polonais Karol Adamiecki en 1896.
Gestion de projet
La gestion de projet, est l'ensemble des activités visant à organiser le bon déroulement d’un projet et à en atteindre les objectifs en temps et en heures selon les objectifs visés. Elle consiste à appliquer les méthodes, techniques, et outils de gestion spécifiques aux différentes étapes du projet, de l'évaluation de l'opportunité jusqu'à l'achèvement du projet. Cette activité porte également le nom de conduite de projet, pilotage de projet, ingénierie de projet, ou encore management de projet.
