Abstract Traditionally, stochastic project planning problems are modeled using the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT). PERT is an attractive technique that commonly used in practice as it requires specification of only a few characteristics activities’ duration. Moreover, its computational burden extremely low. Over years, four main disadvantages have been voiced much research has d...

This investigation presents a heuristic method for consumable resource allocation problem in multi-class dynamic Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) networks, where new projects from different classes (types) arrive to system according to independent Poisson processes with different arrival rates. Each activity of any project is operated at a devoted service station located in a n...

The current market practices for most capital equipment manufacturers provide them with some special difficulties in production management tasks. These are, mainly: 1. Design changes during the necessary overlapping of the production process. 2. Some degree of uncertainty with supplier's due dates and quality specifications accomplishments. 3. Sensibility of changes and other incidences in the ...
