A mathematical model for the multi-mode resource investment problem
author
Abstract:
This paper presents an exact model for the resource investment problem with generalized precedence relations in which the minimum or maximum time lags between a pair of activities may vary depending on the chosen modes. All resources considered are renewable. The objective is to determine a mode and a start time for each activity so that all constraints are obeyed and the resource investment cost is minimized. Project scheduling of this type occurs in many fields for instance, construction industries. The proposed model has been inspired by the packing problems. In spite of the fact that it needs a feasible solution to start for conventional models, the new model has no need for a feasible solution to startup with. Computational results with a set of 60 test problems have been reported and the efficiency of the proposed model has been analyzed.

As a general branch of project scheduling problems, resource investment problem (RIP) considers resource availabilities as decision variables to determine a level of employed resources minimizing the costs of the project. In addition to costs (cash outflows), researchers in the later extensions of the RIP took payments (cash inflows) received from clients into account and used the net present v...

In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient mathematical model for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem to optimize makespan and consumption of energy, simultaneously. In the proposed model, resources are speed-scaling machines. The problem is NP-hard in the strong sense. Therefore, a multi-objective fruit fly optimization algorithm (MOFOA) is developed. The MOFOA uses the VIKO...
