Research on Project Schedule Method of Critical Chain Method

Optimization of Time, Cost, and Quality in Critical Chain Method Using Simulated Annealing (RESEARCH NOTE)

In the last decade, theory of constraint application in project management lead to make a new approach for project scheduling and control as a critical chain. In this paper, a multi-objective optimization model for multi-project scheduling on critical chain is investigated. The objectives include time, cost and quality. In order to solve the problem, a Simulated Annealing algorithm is developed...

new method to determine buffer size for high risk project environment in critical chain method

in this research, a method for determining feeding buffer sizes in critical chain project scheduling is introduced. the method integrates project characteristics into the formulation as well as environment project risk. resource tightness, environment risk and network morphology incorporate into the formulation. the method is tested and compared to three commonly suggested methods in the litera...

A Robustness Simulation Method of Project Schedule based on the Monte Carlo Method

Since there are obvious uncertainties in task duration, the uncertainty will be passed step by step due to the precedence relationships among tasks. Therefore, one should pay attention to the robustness of project plan when scheduling the project. In this paper, the project plan robustness is evaluated as the probability of completing the project in the planning duration, the Monte Carlo method...

A Study of Using Critical Chain Project Management Method for Multi-Project Management Improvement

Resource Allocation Optimization in Critical Chain Method

The paper presents resource allocation optimization in Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM). The cheapest project schedule is searched with respect to time constraints. The algorithm originally developed for the hardware-software co-design of heterogeneous distributed systems is adapted to work with human resources and CCPM method. The results of the optimization showed significant efficien...
