In this paper, we present part of a study on stochastic, dynamic project scheduling in an R&D Department of a leading home appliances company in Turkey. The problem under consideration is the preemptive resource constrained multi-project scheduling problem with generalized precedence relations in a stochastic and dynamic environment. The model consists of three phases. Phase I of the model prov...

Project scheduling is the part of project management that deals with determining when intime to start (and finish) which activities and with the allocation of scarce resources to theproject activities. In practice, virtually all project managers are confronted with resourcescarceness. In such cases, the Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP)arises. This optimization problem has...

in this study, we present a mrcpsp/max (multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem with minimum and maximum time lags) model with minimization tardiness costs and maximization earliness rewards of activities as objective. the proposed model is nearby to real-world problems and has wide applications in various projects. this problem is not available in the literature exactly and ...

In this paper the multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem with discounted cash flows is considered. Minimizing the makespan and maximization the net present value (NPV) are the two common objectives that have been investigated in the literature. We apply one evolutionary algorithm named multiobjective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) to find Pareto front solutions. We used...

Renovation is known to be a complicated type of construction project and prone errors compared new constructions. The need carry out renovation work while keeping normal business activities running, coupled with strict governmental building regulations, presents an important challenge affecting performance. Given the current availability robust hardware software, information modeling (BIM) opti...

This article examines the complexity of resource-allocation decisions for resource-constrained project scheduling. The allocation decisions are modeled by means of precedence networks and are closely related to ES-policies, which are a type of scheduling policies introduced for stochastic scheduling. We find that even a number of ‘surrogate’ objective functions, whose use has recently been prop...

Since around 1900, when Henry L. Gantt, a management scientist, developed a system of bar charts to graphically represent work on a time scale, project management tools have been used by project managers to assist with planning, scheduling, forecasting and controlling. In order to derive the most benefit from using a project management tool, it is necessary to define how a tool’s application is...
