Resource Investment Problem with Discounted Cash Flows
Authors
Abstract:
A resource investment problem is a project-scheduling problem in which the availability levels of the resources are considered as decision variables and the goal is to find a schedule, and resource requirement levels, such that some objective function optimizes. In this paper, we consider a resource investment problem in which the goal is to maximize the net present value of the project cash flows. We call this problem as Resource Investment Problem with Discounted Cash Flows (RIPDCF) and we develop a heuristic method to solve it. Results of several numerical examples show that the proposed method performs relatively well.

Resource investment problem with discounted cash flows RIPDCFs is a class of project scheduling problem. In RIPDCF, the availability levels of the resources are considered decision variables, and the goal is to find a schedule such that the net present value of the project cash flows optimizes. In this paper, we consider a new RIPDCF in which tardiness of project is permitted with defined penal...
full textSolving a multi-objective multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem with discounted cash flows
This paper presents a multi-objective multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP) with positive and negative cash flows. We consider the objectives of the net present value (NPV) maximization and robustness maximization along by makespan minimization. Furthermore, to make a model close to the real world situations, two types of commonly used payment models are considered...
full textFour Payment Models for the Multi-Mode Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem with Discounted Cash Flows
In this paper, the multi-mode resource constrained project scheduling problem with discounted cash flows is considered. The objective is the maximization of the net present value of all cash flows. Time value of money is taken into consideration, and cash inand outflows are associated with activities and/or events. The resources can be of renewable, nonrenewable, and doubly constrained resource...

The aim of a multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP) is to assign resource(s) with the restricted capacity to an execution mode of activities by considering relationship constraints, to achieve pre-determined objective(s). These goals vary with managers or decision makers of any organization who should determine suitable objective(s) considering organization strategi...
