With the advent of new time requirements for the quality of educational services, which is influenced by management in functioning business processes, existing research in the field of resource allocation in the management of complex processes, namely the calculation of the teaching load of university teaching staff, was studied. The purpose of the research in this article is to develop functional and mathematical distribution models of the university educational work volume, as well as an algorithm for optimizing the generation of educational flows and initialization of academic groups, taking into account the specifics of disciplines and classroom fund. The algorithm is based on the construction of all business processes implemented during the formation of educational streams and groups. The functional model described for the process of distributing the volume of educational work includes the definition of the main functions, their relationships, input and output data, as well as the criteria and restrictions that govern this process. The mathematical model is based on the representation of all types of educational work of departments of educational programs as a discrete set of resources that must be distributed between educational departments in accordance with the assumptions and restrictions accepted at the university. Data mining and operations research techniques were used to write the functional model. Empirical and quantitative methods were used to write a mathematical model. Thus, a new methodology has been developed for solving complex optimization problems that arise when modeling and optimizing the distribution of the volume of educational work of a university. It should be noted that comparative experiments under labor-intensive and time-limited conditions confirm the effectiveness of this technique in solving problems of distributing the amount of educational work among departments of educational programs, which in turn contributes to the implementation of high-quality software.
