In modern mechanical engineering, the requirements for product quality are constantly increasing. Accordingly, the products should be thoroughly tested before production begins to check if all customer requirements are fulfilled. As a result, more and more dynamic tests toned to be performed within prescribed period. This is not possible if the tests are not scheduled wisely according to the number of test rigs, individual test times, test priorities and consideration of person-hours of test rig employees. A planning failure can quickly lead to delays of experiments, financial losses and delays in product development process. For this reason, a program and algorithm for scheduling dynamic tests was developed. Using damage factors and test rig properties, the program generates virtual tests and weekly availabilities of test rig. With the developed algorithm, the tests are arranged according to the test rig working time as optimally as possible by considering a limited number of test rigs and the priorities of the individual tests (Eisenhower matrix). With the help of statistical analysis, the schedule can even be made more exact within a few iterations. The result of the dynamic test-scheduling program is a structured test schedule in a user-friendly format.
