Scheduling

Scheduling is arranging the people, equipment, and supplies required for an event to be in the correct place at the correct time, and ensuring that place and time is available for that event. It also involves arranging to avoid using any of thsoe resources more than can be reasonably accomodated given the Operations Support available.

For example, the most common failure here would be to schedule two events in the same room at the same time, or to schedule a single speaker in two different places at once, or a piece of equipment at two successive times in places so far apart the second start time would be missed. Detecting and correcting these errors and others can consume a great deal of effort.
