Project management is usually calculated as a set of static activities, whereas in reality these activities tend to be dynamic involving multiple feedbacks (Park and Peña-Mora [5]). This results in many late project completions. Recently research has been done to formulate and analyze various methods to improve project prediction and control. These include concurrent engineering (Carter and Bak...

This paper presents a project-oriented framework for multi-robot task scheduling. An agent-based architecture is designed to schedule tasks where robots are considered as resources. The study focused on the problems when the number of available robots is less than the required number. In this case, the problem becomes a resource-constrained scheduling problem. Initially, tasks are scheduled by ...

This paper solves a complex PS problem by employing a reproduction mechanism which is closer to natural than the common GA methods. The PS problem consists of: operations sequence constraints, alternative modes per operation, multi renewable resources, resource setups, and other properties. The resulting model is very complex; hence, common GA methods produce unfeasible solutions very frequentl...

Increasingly sophisticated computer software is being utilized to support detailed critical path method (CPM) analysis for resolving delay and disruption claims. The accurate determination of entitlement is however still dependent on the quality of programme and progress information provided by all parties. A comparative analysis of record-keeping methods in the UK and the US reveals that there...

Dimension reduction is critical in many areas of data mining and machine learning. In this paper, a Covariance-preserving Projection Method (CPM for short) is proposed for dimension reduction. CPM maximizes the class discrimination and also preserves approximately the class covariance. The optimization involved in CPM can be formulated as low rank approximations of a collection of matrices, whi...

The notions of the critical path of events and critical time of an event are key concepts in analyzing the performance of a parallel discrete event simulation. The highest critical time of any event in a simulation is a lower bound on the time it takes to execute a simulation using any conservative simulation mechanism, and is also a lower bound on the time taken by some optimistic methods. How...

The problem faced by one of the private construction companies in Jakarta, Indonesia is delay completing grounding and lightning protection installation project. This resulted both material immaterial losses for company. Factors that are thought to cause delays this project include man, machine, material, environment factors. method used research Critical Path Method (CPM) Crashing accelerate d...

Project Management is planning, compiling, and controlling the schedule of project activities. Good time control can help implement projects that have been in accordance with planned time. This uses Critical Path Method. CPM a technique analyzing network activities/activities when executing order to predict total duration. The purpose this study analyze new Network after optimizing work so ther...

This paper is an introduction to the problem of Critical Path determination in the context of Timing Veriication. After correct logic veriication, timing is the next most important concern to be addressed by designers. The speed of a circuit is related to the length of the longest path through which a signal can travel, also known as the longest true path or critical path of the circuit. This p...

Project management is the art and science of planning and controlling projects in their various aspects of time, cost, and scope. Scheduling focuses on the time aspect while considering the various needed resources. The critical path method (CPM) is the most common scheduling technique, whereby the project is broken down into activities with specific durations and relationships among each other...
