What does dynamic scheduling do with the values of the matching criteria and their weights?

• A. It sums them to determine the overall ranking
• B. It multiplies them
• C. It uses only the highest value
• D. It subtracts the weights

Answer: (A)

Dynamic scheduling evaluates how well a resource matches a job by building a single score from multiple criteria. For each criterion, you have a value that reflects how well the resource meets that criterion and a weight that indicates its importance. The engine multiplies the value by its weight (or equivalently scales the criterion by its weight) and then sums these weighted values across all criteria to produce an overall ranking score. The higher this score, the better the fit, and scheduling uses this ranking to assign the job. So, the matching criteria values and their weights are combined through a sum to determine the overall ranking. Multiplying all values, using only the highest value, or subtracting weights would not produce the balanced, multi-factor score that dynamic scheduling relies on.
