splittable stochastic project scheduling with constrained renewable resource
Authors
abstract
this paper discusses the problem of allocation of constrained renewable resource to splittable activities of a single project. if the activities of stochastic projects can be split, these projects may be completed in shorter time when the available resource is constrained. it is assumed that the resource amount required to accom-plish each activity is a discrete quantity and deterministic. the activity duration time is assumed to be a dis-crete random variable with arbitrary experimental distribution. solving stochastic mathematical programming model of problem is very hard. so, here some existing methods for deterministic problems have been gener-alized for stochastic case. solutions of generalized methods are relatively better than random solutions. how-ever, the authors developed the new algorithm that may improve the solutions of generalized methods and project completion time distribution function (ctdf). comparison of solution of a method with random solutions is a common assessment method in literature research. hence, the efficiency of the proposed algo-rithm represented using this method.

PREFACE After having received my diploma from the Technische Universität Berlin in 1996, Rolf Möhring, the supervisor of my diploma thesis, offered me a research position in his group. At that time I was employed at a Berlin software company the head of which, Gert Scheschonk, strongly encouraged me to accept the offer. I accepted and in 1997 I began to work within a research initiative funded ...
full textThe Combinatorial Multi-Mode Resource Constrained Multi-Project Scheduling Problem
This paper presents the formulation and solution of the Combinatorial Multi-Mode Resource Constrained Multi-Project Scheduling Problem. The focus of the proposed method is not on finding a single optimal solution, instead on presenting multiple feasible solutions, with cost and duration information to the project manager. The motivation for developing such an approach is due in part to practica...

Project success is assessed based on various criteria, every one of which enjoys a different level of importance for the beneficiaries and decision makers. Time and cost are the most important objectives and criteria for the project success. On the other hand, reducing the risk of finishing activities until the predetermined deadlines should be taken into account. Having formulated the problem ...

The purpose of this paper presents a heuristic method based in genetic algorithms (GA) for resource-constrained project scheduling. The problem studied was of the scheduling of projects that share the same pool of resources. This situation is very common in some environments of project, i. e., construction P&D units. Fluctuation in resource usage can result in many problems, such as the need in...
