Critical Chain Project Management Theory and Practice

It is now over 10 years since the first publication on Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) (Goldratt, 1997). Since then, software and implementation practice have developed rapidly. The logic and assumptions underpinning this new knowledge has recently been published (Goldratt, 2007) in the form of a strategy and tactics (S&T) tree. It is, therefore, timely to review the CCPM claims from b...

A Genetic Algorithm for The Critical Chain Project Scheduling Problem

Abstract This work aims to study a project scheduling method based Critical Chain Method (CCM), which is a burgeoning project scheduling technology based on the Theory of Constraints (TOC). We formulate the model of the critical chain project scheduling problem, in which a simplified scheme of critical chain project scheduling is used to generate the critical chain project plan. And then, a gen...

Critical Chain Project Scheduling: Utilizing Uncertainty for Buffer Sizing

In this paper, we introduce a method for buffer sizing in Critical Chain project scheduling. Proposed approach considers lognormal distribution for modeling activities’ execution time. The inherent uncertainty of activities considered as a main factor to size the buffer in proposed method. For comparing with traditional methods we used problems presented in literature. The results depict that p...
