In this paper, we study a multi-agent project staffing problem involving single project, which has to be scheduled under resource constraints. We consider functional organisational structure where team leader and manager are together responsible for the operational execution of project. The leader, formal authority over resources, is standing at top hierarchy determines number mix (additional) ...

In multi-element deposits, different blocks are blended together to create a product with a predetermined quality. Generally, blending aims to obtain a special quality and quantity based on determining the processing plant or customer needs. However, blending causes different products based on the deposit properties. Thus, a block is blended with others to create one of many possible products. ...

this paper presents a new mathematical model for a bi-objective job shop scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times that minimizes the weighted mean completion time and the weighted mean tardiness time. for solving this multi-objective model, we develop a fuzzy multi-objective linear programming (fmolp) model. in this problem, a proposed fmolp method is applied with respect to the o...

Extensive research has been devoted to resource constrained project scheduling problem. However, little attention has been paid to problems where a certain time penalty must be incurred if activity preemption is allowed. In this paper, we consider the project scheduling problem of minimizing the total cost subject to resource constraints, earliness-tardiness penalties and preemption penalties, ...

in this paper, we proposed an algorithm for solving the problem of task scheduling using particle swarm optimization algorithm, with changes in the selection and removing the guide and also using the technique to get away from the bad, to move away from local extreme and diversity. scheduling algorithms play an important role in grid computing, parallel tasks scheduling and sending them to appr...

This paper presents a Multi-objective Hyper-heuristic Evolutionary Algorithm (MHypEA) for the solution of Scheduling and Inspection Planning in Software Development Projects. Scheduling and Inspection planning is a vital problem in software engineering whose main objective is to schedule the persons to various activities in the software development process such as coding, inspection, testing an...

  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 ...

agricultural mechanization project must be identified in a short time frame to do a certain way; otherwise, cost is not the time to come and will also result in reduced yield. to avoid these costs in farming systems is necessary in any region that agricultural mechanization projects are and scheduling and planning as well as scientific until activities included in the project to fruition are do...
