Background of the Study
Production scheduling is a critical aspect of operations management that involves planning and organizing production processes to ensure that resources are used efficiently and customer demands are met on time. While production scheduling is often associated with manufacturing, it is also a relevant practice in service industries, such as banking, where operational processes require careful coordination and resource allocation. In the context of Sterling Bank Plc, located in Adamawa State, effective scheduling of operational tasks, such as cash management, security services, and IT system maintenance, is key to maintaining efficient service delivery.
The banking sector in Nigeria faces various operational challenges, including the need for timely responses to customer transactions, efficient management of cash resources, and maintaining the reliability of digital banking systems. Sterling Bank has implemented various operational strategies to improve its efficiency, but the extent to which production scheduling affects these operations in Adamawa State remains an area that requires further investigation.
This study seeks to examine the relationship between production scheduling and operational efficiency in Sterling Bank Plc, focusing on how effective scheduling practices can enhance the bank’s performance in Adamawa State.
