Exam scheduling problems are one of the major problems faced by universities. Despite the increase in the number of students in recent years, the existing classroom resources remain the same. Because of that, there are various problems in the examination programs. In the present case, the exam schedules are prepared manually based on the experience of the programmer without using any scientific method. As a result, there may occur many problems such as entering several exams or more than one hard exam on the same day. In order to overcome such problems, a mixed integer mathematical model for exam scheduling is proposed in this study. The proposed model is applied to Erciyes University, Department of Industrial Engineering and the final program of the 2016-2017 fall semester is established by using the CPLEX 12.6.1 optimization package program. The obtained exam schedule is compared with the schedule prepared by the research assistants. The final program obtained by the proposed method used fewer classrooms than the current final program, so the number of supervisors is reduced. On the other hand, the number of empty desks in the classrooms is minimized, hard exams are not scheduled on the same day and the time laps between exams are created in order to increase the performance of students.

Final sınav programı hazırlama problemine ait bir matematiksel model ve uygulama

Sınav çizelgeleme problemleri üniversitelerin karşılaştığı önemli problemlerden biridir. Son yıllarda bölümlerdeki öğrenci sayılarındaki artışa rağmen mevcut derslik kaynaklarının aynı kalması sebebiyle oluşturulan sınav programlarında çeşitli sıkıntılar ortaya çıkmaktadır. Mevcut durumda sınav çizelgeleri herhangi bir bilimsel yöntem kullanmadan programı yapan kişinin tecrübelerine dayanarak manuel olarak hazırlanmaktadır. Bunun sonucunda da öğrencilerin aynı günde çok sayıda sınava girmesi, aynı sınıfa ait zor olarak nitelenebilecek derslerin sınavının aynı güne atanması gibi problemler ortaya çıkabilmektedir. Bu tarz sorunların üstesinden gelmek amacıyla, bu çalışmada sınav çizelgeleme problemine yönelik karma tamsayılı bir matematiksel model geliştirilmiştir. Önerilen model Erciyes Üniversitesi Endüstri Mühendisliği Bölümü’ne uygulanarak, 2016-2017 güz yarıyılı final programı CPLEX 12.6.1 optimizasyon paket programı kullanılarak çözülmüştür. Model sonucu elde edilen final programı, bölüm araştırma görevlilerince hazırlanan program ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Önerilen yöntem ile elde edilen final programı mevcut final programına göre daha az sayıda derslik kullanmış dolayısıyla gözetmen sayısı azaltılmış, sınavın yapıldığı dersliklerdeki boş yer sayısı minimize edilmiş, öğrencilerin performanslarını düşürmemek adına zor olarak belirtilen dersler aynı güne çizelgelenmemiş ve öğrencilerin sınavlar arası dinlenmelerine olanak sağlayan zaman boşlukları oluşturulmuştur.
