Balancing is a research area within the field of operations research and scheduling that focuses on optimizing the allocation of resources or tasks to achieve a desired outcome. The goal of balancing is to evenly distribute workloads, resources, or tasks in order to maximize efficiency and minimize bottlenecks or delays. This can involve balancing the workload among employees, balancing production processes, or balancing the utilization of resources such as time, money, or materials. Balancing research often involves mathematical modeling, simulation, and optimization techniques to find the most efficient and effective allocation of resources.
