Slot-Based Scheduling

Slot

Slot-based scheduling is a method of organizing your workflow and deadlines. It can be applied in many industries. For example, health care professionals can use the slot-based system to schedule consultations with new patients, evaluate patient outcomes, and track positive results.

The slot-based method also works to help improve staff engagement, enhance workflow, and increase productivity. It’s also applicable to informal team meetings.

The name slots refers to a small, thin opening. A time slot is an area in which you can put a coin within a remedy.

There are many types of slots. These include an ISA slot, PCI slot, expansion slot, and memory slot. Typically, each has 16 to 64 closely-spaced pinholes. Each of these is a unique and specialized capability for your computer.

Another type of slot is the high slot. This is the best place for the defenseman to take a shot. Depending on the game, a high slot can be used for anything from a well-placed one-timer to a blistering slap shot into the net.

In addition to the high slot, there are also low slots. These areas are right in front of the goaltender. Wrist shots with a clear view of the net are best taken in the low slot.

Another slot-related tidbit is an air gap. Air gaps are smooth gaps between surfaces. They allow for airflow and are common in airplanes and other flying devices. Originally, an air gap was a synonym for the Old French esclot or German Schloss.
