Don't know if this is the right forum, but here it goes...
I wrote an article that I'd appreciate feedback on: "Minimizing Makespan, Explained Using Attack Helicopters." As a US Marine and former AH-1W pilot, it seemed an appropriate example.
Minimizing Makespan, Explained Using Attack Helicopters
It introduces the concept to the layperson, provides rules for minimizing makespan on 2 machines, and introduces a technical framework for constructing a model to minimize makespan on 3+ machines.
Feedback requests:
1. Is this content useful for machinists/shop owners? What would make it more useful?
2. What are some other scheduling topics you'd like information on?
3. Do technical frameworks help, or are they throwaway?
FULL DISCLOSURE: I work at a startup building low-cost, flexible production scheduling software. I'm not trying to sell you anything. Just hoping for feedback on how we can provide content that is actually helpful and not just worthless internet fluff.
Many thanks in advance to those who check it out.
