چکیده

The discrete time –cost trade-off problem (DTCTP) is one of the main aspects of project scheduling. In DTCTP , we treat cost as a non-renewable resource and the availability of renewable resource per period has been neglected. It was recently suggested that the quality of project should also be taken into consideration. Therefore, when renewable resources and quality are considered, the traditional DTCTP is extended to a new discrete resource quality constrained time cost-trade off problem (DRQTCTP), which involves renewable resources, non renewable resources and quality constraints. The objective of DRQTCTP involves the scheduling of project activities in order of minimizing the total cost of the project while maximizing the quality of the project and also meet a given deadline. An example is given for the DRQTCTP and it is observed that when subjected to same amount of nonrenewable resources, the optimal project cost in DRQTCTP is higher than that in traditional DTCTP but there is no change in quality.

Time, cost and quality are considered as the main components in managing each project. Previous researches have mainly focused on the time-cost trade-off problems. Recently quality is considered as the most important factor in project�s success, which is influenced by time acceleration that is the less time is spent the more success is gained. In time-cost-quality trade-off problems, each act...

Time, Cost and Quality Trade-off Analysis in Construction of Projects

The completion time and nonrenewable resources are traditionally considered for construction of project. When renewable resources, quality and some criteria considered for the project, the risk related to criteria has to be taken into account. Thus project planning problem can be defined as multicriteria decision problem under risk. In this paper, a project scheduling problem including time, co...

The purpose of this problem is to choose a set of project activities for crashing, in a way that the expected project time, cost and risk are minimized and the expected quality is maximized. In this problem, each project activity can be performed with a specific executive mode. Each executive mode is characterized with four measures, namely the expected time, cost, quality and risk. In this pap...

A Multi-Mode Resource-Constrained Optimization of Time-Cost Trade-off Problems in Project Scheduling Using a Genetic Algorithm

In this paper, we present a genetic algorithm (GA) for optimization of a multi-mode resource constrained time cost trade off (MRCTCT) problem. The proposed GA, each activity has several operational modes and each mode identifies a possible executive time and cost of the activity. Beyond earlier studies on time-cost trade-off problem, in MRCTCT problem, resource requirements of each execution mo...
