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...

agility is the fundamental characteristic of a supply chain needed for survival in turbulent markets, where environmental forces create additional uncertainty resulting in higher risk in the supply chain management. in addition, agility helps providing the right product, at the right time to the consumer. the main goal of this research is therefore to promote supplier selection in pharmaceutica...

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...

It is now over 10 years since the first publication on Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) (Goldratt, 1997). Since then, software and implementation practice have developed rapidly. The logic and assumptions underpinning this new knowledge has recently been published (Goldratt, 2007) in the form of a strategy and tactics (S&T) tree. It is, therefore, timely to review the CCPM claims from b...
