Sistem Penyusunan Jadwal Perkuliahan Menggunakan Library Unitime University Timetabling pada Program Studi Sistem Informasi

The lecture scheduling process at the Information Systems Study Program of UIN Alauddin Makassar currently faces significant challenges due to the use of manual methods using spreadsheets. This conventional approach is highly susceptible to human errors, such as overlapping schedules for lecturers or rooms, is time-consuming, and lacks flexibility in handling sudden changes. This study aims to design and develop a web-based lecture scheduling information system by integrating the Unitime University Timetabling library to automate the process effectively and efficiently. The research methodology follows the Agile development model, which includes stages of requirement analysis, system design, implementation, and testing. The system utilizes the UniTime solver to model scheduling as a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP), taking into account both hard constraints (e.g., no room conflicts) and soft constraints (e.g., lecturer preferences). System testing was conducted using Black Box Testing to validate functionalities and performance comparison testing to measure efficiency improvements. The results demonstrate that the developed system can generate a complete, conflict-free schedule in just 1 minute, compared to the 300 minutes required by manual methods. Furthermore, the system successfully eliminated 100% of detected potential scheduling conflicts. This research proves that integrating advanced scheduling libraries into modern web frameworks like Laravel provides a professional and highly efficient solution for academic management in higher education.
