this paper presents the formulation and solution of the combinatorial multi-mode resource constrained multi-project scheduling problem. the focus of the proposed method is not on finding a single optimal solution, instead on presenting multiple feasible solutions, with cost and duration information to the project manager. the motivation for developing such an approach is due in part to practica...

This paper presents an exact model for the resource investment problem with generalized precedence relations in which the minimum or maximum time lags between a pair of activities may vary depending on the chosen modes. All resources considered are renewable. The objective is to determine a mode and a start time for each activity so that all constraints are obeyed and the resource investment co...

    Project scheduling   Net present value   We consider a project scheduling problem with permitted tardiness and discrete time/resource trade-offs under maximum net present value objective. In this problem, a project consists of a set of sequential phases such that each phase contains one or more sub-projects including activities interrelated by finish-start-type precedence relations with a t...

The aim of a multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP) is to assign resource(s) with the restricted capacity to an execution mode of activities by considering relationship constraints, to achieve pre-determined objective(s). These goals vary with managers or decision makers of any organization who should determine suitable objective(s) considering organization strategi...

This study investigates the impacts of resource sharing on the supply chain efficiency. Due to the increased emphasis on efficiency, modern supply chain processes are no longer labour-intensive. Supply chain management should particularly consider resource sharing. The queuing and AnyLogic approaches are developed in this paper to model and simulate complex supply chain operations. First, based...
