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...

In this paper the multiple projects resourceconstrained project scheduling problem is considered. Several projects are to be scheduled simultaneously with sharing several kinds of limited resources in this problem. Each project contains non-preemptive and deterministic duration activities which compete limited resources under resources and precedence constraints. Moreover, there are the due dat...

This paper presents a hybrid heuristic for constrained resource allocation in PERT type networks. Here, the assumption is made that the constrained resource is renewable for allocation to the activities of project. In addition, we consider finish-start precedence constraints with zero time lag. The activities durations are independent continuous random variables, preemption is not allowed and r...

Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP) is the most general scheduling problem. Job shop scheduling, flow shop scheduling and other scheduling problems are the subsets of RCPSP. The present paper examines the multimode multi-objective resource constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) with partial precedence relations. To enhance the practical aspects of this prominent prob...

In this paper we consider resource-constrained time-dependent scheduling systems, Le. decision support systems with time as the important planning component. Instead of dealing with optimalization aspects of the planning problem, we concentrate on schedule management, i.e. stepwise planning with respect to primitive functions, like handling single decisions or constraints. The design of these s...

in this paper, a new genetic algorithm (ga) is presented for solving the multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (mrcpsp) with minimization of project makespan as the objective subject to resource and precedence constraints. a random key and the related mode list (ml) representation scheme are used as encoding schemes and the multi-mode serial schedule generation scheme (mssg...
