In practical multi-skilled resource-constrained multi-project management, the activity duration is often affected by some factors (e.g., rework, increased workload), leading to uncertainty. Moreover, multiple projects are managed under a distributed decision-making environment. To deal with uncertain durations in management staff, this paper studies stochastic scheduling problem staff (MS-SDRCM...

For the multi-attribute tradeoff optimization of critical chain multi-project scheduling (CCMPS), multi-attribute utility function was adopted to conduct comprehensive optimization of time, cost, quality, robustness and the optimization model was established. Using randomness and stability of Normal Cloud Model, cloud genetic algorithm was designed to generate priority of multi-project scheduli...

the research on project scheduling has widely expanded over the last few decades. the vast majority of these research efforts focus on exact and suboptimal procedures for constructing a workable schedule, assuming complete information and a static deterministic problem environment. project activities are scheduled subject to both technological precedence constraints and resource constraints, mo...

In practice, most projects result in cost overruns and schedule slippage due to poor resource management. This paper presents an approach that aims at reducing project duration and costs by empowering project managers to assess different scenarios. The proposed approach addresses combinatorial modes for tasks, multi-skilled resources, and multiple calendars for resources. A case study reported ...

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, ...

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...
