In
this study, within the scope of the Bologna
process, the undergraduate programs were discussed updating of the course
planning. European Credit Transfer System of the
courses were  computed by considering the course planning of
the same Industrial Engineering programs in Turkey and Europe and the courses
were determined in the same way. The course planning problem was modeled as
line balancing problem by considering ECTS values, number of courses, number of
periods, the other relevant parameters, precedence constraints of the courses,
and other constraints
within the scope of the Bologna process. The line balancing problem was solved with
the help of the WINQSB software by using the different heuristic methods,
results were compared and the appropriate course planning was created.

BOLOGNA UYUM SÜRECİNDE DERS PLANI OLUŞTURMAK İÇİN HAT DENGELEME YAKLAŞIMI

Öz

Bu çalışmada Bologna
süreci kapsamında lisans programlarının ders planlarının güncellenmesi aşaması
ele alınmıştır. Avrupa ve Türkiye’deki benzer Endüstri Mühendisliği
programlarının ders planları göz önünde bulundurularak, dersler belirlenmiştir.
Avrupa Kredi Transfer ve Biriktirme Sistemi değerleri, ders sayısı, dönem
sayısı, ilgili diğer parametreler, derslerin öncüllük kısıtları ve Bologna
süreci kapsamındaki diğer kısıtlar dikkate alınarak ders planı oluşturma
problemi, hat dengeleme problemi olarak modellenmiştir. Oluşturulan hat
dengeleme problemi WINQSB yazılımı yardımıyla farklı sezgisel yöntemler
kullanılarak çözülmüş, sonuçlar karşılaştırılmış ve uygun ders planları
oluşturulmuştur.
