Scheduling Policies

Scheduling policies are guidelines used to determine how tasks or jobs are prioritized and managed over time, whether in a workplace, computer systems, or transportation. They help decide which tasks to perform first based on various criteria, such as urgency, importance, or resource availability. Common examples include "First-Come, First-Served," which operates on a simple queue basis, and "Priority Scheduling," where more critical tasks are completed ahead of less important ones. Effective scheduling policies aim to maximize efficiency, reduce wait times, and ensure that resources are utilized optimally.
