We develop a decomposition method for project scheduling problems with adjacent resources. Adjacent resources are resources for which the units assigned to a job are required to be in some sense adjacent. Possible examples of adjacent resources are dry docks, shop floor spaces, and assembly areas. We focus on the Time-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (TCPSP), [4], with one 1-dimensional a...

in this study, we present a mrcpsp/max (multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem with minimum and maximum time lags) model with minimization tardiness costs and maximization earliness rewards of activities as objective. the proposed model is nearby to real-world problems and has wide applications in various projects. this problem is not available in the literature exactly and ...

Many operations research problems in project management, manufacturing, and elsewhere require the generation of specified sets of activity networks for purposes of testing proposed solution approaches. To date, single-network generators have been used for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP). Since the first single-network generator was proposed in 1993, several advances ...

CRIBA is a project that aims at industrializing thermal renovation processes of buildings. It consists in designing and configuring make-to-order insulated panels that will be installed on the external facade of the buildings to meet the thermal renovation objectives. Our study provides an optimization model that comprehensively plans supply chain network, which delivers insulated panels to the...

Construction companies are required to employ effective methods of project planning and scheduling in today's competitive environment. Time cost critical factors success, they can vary based on the type amount resources used for activities, such as labor, tools, materials. In addition, resource leveling strategies that limit fluctuations a project's consumption also affect time cost. The multi-...
