Resource Slack is a term used by behavioral economists indicating the assumption that we'll magically have more free time in the future than we do today. So we say yes to work commitments three months from now that we'd never accept if it were next week - and then discover too late that we still don't have any time for it. Researchers term this the "Yes... D*mn!" effect. Specifically mentioned in his book "Willpower" by Roy F. Baumeister.
Slack time in operations refers to the amount of time that a task or project can be delayed without affecting the overall schedule or deadline. It is a critical concept in project management and scheduling, allowing for flexibility in resource allocation and task execution. By identifying slack time, managers can better prioritize tasks and optimize workflows, minimizing the risk of delays in project completion.
Slack variables are introduced in linear programming to transform inequality constraints into equality constraints, allowing for the use of standard optimization techniques. They represent the unused resources in a system, enabling a more flexible and comprehensive analysis of feasible solutions. By adding slack variables, we can better understand the margins within which constraints are satisfied, facilitating clearer decision-making in resource allocation.
