Due to rapid environmental changes and the large scope of project activities in the petroleum industry, project management is of particular importance. One of the essential and important factors for the success of projects is to focus on the behavioral characteristics, and in other words, the competencies of project managers. In this regard, designing a model of project managers' competencies i...

this study was aimed at developing a method for measuring the relationship between intellectual capital and project manager competencies. intellectual capital consist human capital, structural capital and relational capital. project manager competencies have been evaluated based on ipma competence baseline (icb) and project manager competency development framework (pmcdf) includes knowledge, sk...

This paper presents an experimental investigation of the Sounds of Silence (SoS) harmony search metaheuristic for the multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP) using a pre-optimized starting repertoire. The presented algorithm is based on the time oriented version of the SoS harmony search metaheuristic developed by Csébfalvi et al. [1] for the single-mode resource-con...

the allocation of human resources to project activities in order to schedule them is one of the closest states to the actual conditions of scheduling problems. but regarding the fact that this problem belongs to the class of np-hard problems; so far the exact methods have only been able to solve the small size problems. in this study, the renewable resources are humans in a way that every staff...

odern project scheduling techniques have been around for almost 50 years. The original development work on the critical path method (CPM) and the performance evaluation and review technique (PERT) began in the mid 1950s [6]&[7]. Although the basic principles behind CPM and PERT have not changed, significant advances in project scheduling have taken place in the years since these techniques were...

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...

Project-based remanufacturing is a kind of service-driven remanufacturing mode, and production scheduling is one of the important issues for project-based remanufacturing system operation. Many uncertain factors exist in the remanufacturing system which lead to the traditional single production scheduling model and approach can not satisfy the requirements for production scheduling in the proce...
