Implementation of Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) and Critical Path Method (CPM) on Scheduling Ship Repair Project

Theory of Constraints ( TOC ) & Critical Chain Project Mgmt ( CCPM )

Introduction: There is a considerable body of literature on the use of Theory of Constraints and Critical Chain Project Management in Projects, and almost as many acronyms – TOC, CCPM, CCS, CCM, CCS/BM, to name a few. Theory of Constraints was initially controversial and often criticized (see earlier references below) but is now firmly establishing itself, particularly in Risk Management. Often...

Critical Chain Project Management Theory and Practice

It is now over 10 years since the first publication on Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) (Goldratt, 1997). Since then, software and implementation practice have developed rapidly. The logic and assumptions underpinning this new knowledge has recently been published (Goldratt, 2007) in the form of a strategy and tactics (S&T) tree. It is, therefore, timely to review the CCPM claims from b...

A Study of Using Critical Chain Project Management Method for Multi-Project Management Improvement

Collaborative Project Management (CPM)

Zulieferer übernehmen inzwischen immer umfangreichere Aufgaben in der Entwicklung und Produktion, was zu neuen Herausforderungen im Projektmanagement führt. Nach VDA (2003) sind deshalb neue Formen der Zusammenarbeit zwischen Projektpartnern notwendig. Aus diesem Grund initiierten BMW und Daimler gemeinsam mit großen Zulieferern wie ZF Friedrichshafen, Karmann und Keiper beim ProSTEP iViP Verei...

A Genetic Algorithm for The Critical Chain Project Scheduling Problem

Abstract This work aims to study a project scheduling method based Critical Chain Method (CCM), which is a burgeoning project scheduling technology based on the Theory of Constraints (TOC). We formulate the model of the critical chain project scheduling problem, in which a simplified scheme of critical chain project scheduling is used to generate the critical chain project plan. And then, a gen...
