Dear all,
Can anybody help me to understand the differences between Planners, Programmers and Schedulers?
I call myself a Planning Engineer, in that I determine how long a construction project should take, what are the major stages, what the major milestones etc. In other words I plan the project as a whole, including design, procurement and construction.
I would say that a programmer then puts the detail on that, looking at individual activities, working out the precise sequence and timing of each.
I think a scheduler is the same thing as a programmer, this term scheduler mainly being used in the USA.
Am I right? What do you think these different terms mean? What do they mean in your industry and location?
