Resource constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) is mainly investigated with the objective of either minimizing project makespan or maximizing project net present value. However, when material planning plays a key role in a project, the existing models cannot help determining material ordering plans to minimize material costs. In this paper, the RCPSP incorporated with the material order...

  Uncertainty plays a major role in any project evaluation and management process. One of the trickiest parts of any production project work is its cost and time forecasting. Since in the initial phases of production projects uncertainty is at its highest level, a reliable method of project scheduling and cash flow generation is vital to help the managers reach successful implementation of the ...

management of project&apos;s knowledge is very effective in the performance of project management and carries a great portion in achieving the targets of organization and projects. in project-oriented organization, knowledge and experiences of projects play a crucial role. accurate identification and suitable application of knowledge in success of knowledge management is necessary. this combine...

risk management is one of the most important aspects of project management that identifies, assesses and responds to project risks. although many papers have been published in project risk response, presented tools and methods are poor. hence, in this paper, we present an optimization model to respond project risk that seeks to optimize two key criteria of project: cost and time. the proposed m...

Large-scale projects often have several activities which are performed by subcontractors with limited multi-resources. Project scheduling with limited resources is one of the most famous problems in the research operations and optimization cases. The resource-constraint project scheduling problem (RCPSP) is a NP-hard problem in which the activities of a project must be scheduled to reduce the p...

Research has found that a project manager's experience is driver of performance. However, whether specialist or generalist managers are more effective remains an open question to date. In this paper, we examine how managers' breadth influences completion time under different levels complexity. Using longitudinal data from 9,765 enterprise resource planning (ERP) system projects executed by soft...
