<p style='text-indent:20px;'>This paper investigates the decentralized resource-constrained multi-project scheduling problem with transfer times (DRCMPSPTT) in which of global resources among different projects are assumed to be sequence-independent, while transfers local take no time within a project. First, two decision variables (<inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{doc...

In this paper, we study a multi-agent project staffing problem involving single project, which has to be scheduled under resource constraints. We consider functional organisational structure where team leader and manager are together responsible for the operational execution of project. The leader, formal authority over resources, is standing at top hierarchy determines number mix (additional) ...

In multi-element deposits, different blocks are blended together to create a product with a predetermined quality. Generally, blending aims to obtain a special quality and quantity based on determining the processing plant or customer needs. However, blending causes different products based on the deposit properties. Thus, a block is blended with others to create one of many possible products. ...

this paper presents a new mathematical model for a bi-objective job shop scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times that minimizes the weighted mean completion time and the weighted mean tardiness time. for solving this multi-objective model, we develop a fuzzy multi-objective linear programming (fmolp) model. in this problem, a proposed fmolp method is applied with respect to the o...

Extensive research has been devoted to resource constrained project scheduling problem. However, little attention has been paid to problems where a certain time penalty must be incurred if activity preemption is allowed. In this paper, we consider the project scheduling problem of minimizing the total cost subject to resource constraints, earliness-tardiness penalties and preemption penalties, ...
