An extension of the Disjunctive Model, eeciently representing Jobshop Scheduling (JS) problem, to more general Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling (RCPS) problem is proposed. The extension considers diierent groups of resources used by activities in diierent amounts limited to a constant value in every moment of the project duration. A solution to the problem is represented by a project res...

This paper addresses an extension of the resource-constrained project scheduling problem that takes into account storage resources which may be produced or consumed by activities. To solve this problem, we propose the generalization of two existing mixed integer linear programming models for the classical resource-constrained project scheduling problem, as well as one novel formulation based on...

We study resource-constrained project scheduling problems with perturbation on activity durations. With the consideration of robustness and stability of a schedule, we model the problem as a multiobjective optimization problem. Three objectives—makespan minimization, robustness maximization, and stability maximization—are simultaneously considered. We propose a hybrid multiobjective evolutionar...

This article examines the complexity of resource-allocation decisions for resource-constrained project scheduling. The allocation decisions are modeled by means of precedence networks and are closely related to ES-policies, which are a type of scheduling policies introduced for stochastic scheduling. We find that even a number of ‘surrogate’ objective functions, whose use has recently been prop...

The science of construction scheduling has gained importance in the past few decades and has become the focal point of construction management practitioners. Scheduling involves listing of a project's milestones, activities, and deliverables with intended start and finish dates. These are estimated in terms of resource allocation, budget and duration. Resource limits (manpower, machinery, mater...

In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient mathematical model for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem to optimize makespan and consumption of energy, simultaneously. In the proposed model, resources are speed-scaling machines. The problem is NP-hard in the strong sense. Therefore, a multi-objective fruit fly optimization algorithm (MOFOA) is developed. The MOFOA uses the VIKO...

in this paper, we consider scheduling of project networks under minimization of total weighted resource tardiness penalty costs. in this problem, we assume constrained resources are renewable and limited to very costly machines and tools which are also used in other projects and are not accessible in all periods of time of a project. in other words, there is a dictated ready date as well as a d...
