Scheduling Markovian PERT networks to maximize the net present value
We examine project scheduling with net-present-value objective and exponential activity durations, using a continuous-time Markov decision chain. Based on a judicious partitioning of the state space, we achieve a significant performance improvement compared to the existing algorithms.
متن کاملA Heuristic Algorithm for Project Scheduling Problem to Maximizing the Net Present Value
This paper deals with resource unconstrained project scheduling problems with the objective of maximizing the net present value (NPV) of project cash flows. Here we present a heuristic algorithm named as differential procedure (Dif_AOA).
In order to evaluate the efficiency of this algorithm, networks with node numbers between 10-1000 and network complexity coefficients between 1.3-6.6 have ...

متن کاملInterdiction Games on Markovian PERT Networks
In a stochastic interdiction game a proliferator aims to minimize the expected duration of a nuclear weapons development project, while an interdictor endeavors to maximize the project duration by delaying some of the project tasks. We formulate static and dynamic versions of the interdictor’s decision problem where the interdiction plan is either pre-committed or adapts to new information reve...
متن کاملNet Present Value of Cash Flows in Single Machine and Flow Shop Scheduling Problems
While a great portion of the scheduling literature focuses on time-based criteria, the most important goal of management is maximizing the profitability of the firm. In this paper, the net preset value criterion is studied taking account of linear time-dependent cash flows in single machine and flow shop scheduling problems. First, a heuristic method is presented for the single machine scheduli...
