Fuzzy Project Scheduling Using Constraint Programming
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper aims to present an application of constraint programming techniques for project portfolio scheduling taking into account the imprecision in activity duration and cost. Data specification in the form of discrete α-cuts allows combining distinct and imprecise data, and implementing a constraint satisfaction problem with the use of constraint programming. Moreover using α-cuts, optimistic, pessimistic, and several intermediate scenarios concerning the project scheduling and cash flows can be obtained and considered in terms of different risk levels.

A Project Scheduling Method Based on Fuzzy Theory
In this paper a new method based on fuzzy theory is developed to solve the project scheduling problem under fuzzy environment. Assuming that the duration of activities are trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (TFN), in this method we compute several project characteristics such as earliest times, latest times, and, slack times in term of TFN. In this method, we introduce a new approach which we call modif...
متن کاملModeling and solving multi-skilled resource-constrained project scheduling problem with calendars in fuzzy condition
In this study, we aim to present a new model for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) considering a working calendar for project members and determined the skill factor of any member using the efficiency concept. For this purpose, the recyclable resources are staff resources where any person with multiple skills can meet the required skills of activities in a given time. ...
متن کاملA multi-objective resource-constrained project scheduling problem with time lags and fuzzy activity durations
The resource-constrained project scheduling problem is to find a schedule that minimizes the project duration subject to precedence relations and resource constraints. To further account for economic aspects of the project, one may add an objective of cash nature to the problem. In addition, dynamic nature and variations in real world are known to introduce uncertainties into data. Therefore, t...
متن کاملA Declarative Approach to Cost Estimation in Multi-Project Environment
The paper aims to present a cost evaluation for multi-project environment, taking into account imprecision in activity duration and cost. Data specification in the form of discrete α-cuts enables the connection of distinct and imprecise data, and the implementation of a constraints satisfaction problem with the use of constraint programming. Moreover, using α-cuts, optimistic, pessimistic, and ...
متن کاملAN EFFECTIVE METHOD FOR SIMULTANEOUSLY CONSIDERING TIME-COST TRADE-OFF AND CONSTRAINT RESOURCE SCHEDULING USING NONLINEAR INTEGER FRAMEWORK
Critical Path Method (CPM) is one of the most popular techniques used by construction practitioners for construction project scheduling since the 1950s. Despite its popularity, CPM has a major shortcoming, as it is schedule based on two impractical acceptance that the project deadline is not bounded and that resources are unlimited. The analytical competency and computing capability of CPM thus...
