What does Task Interleaving mean?

Task interleaving is a technique used in shipping and logistics to optimize the use of resources, such as labor and equipment. It involves scheduling tasks in such a way that they can be performed simultaneously or in overlapping time frames. For example, in a warehouse, task interleaving could involve scheduling the loading and unloading of trucks to coincide with the picking and packing of orders.

By doing so, the company can improve efficiency and reduce the time required to complete each task, resulting in cost savings and increased productivity.
