Construction projects are planned in a complex and dynamic environment characterized by high risks uncertainties amidst resource constraints. Assessing construction schedule risk facilitates informed decision-making, especially resource-constrained situation, allows proactive actions to be taken so that project objectives not jeopardized. This study presents stochastic multiskilled scheduling (...

In a recent paper Wei, Liu and Tsai present an ‘‘advanced TOC method for project scheduling under resource constraints’’. In this note we demonstrate that the authors (a) largely ignore the state of the art in resource-constrained project scheduling, (b) do not offer a correct application of the critical chain scheduling concepts, and (c) describe an alternative scheduling approach that is not ...

New competitive results for the stochastic resource-constrained project scheduling problem: exploring the benefits of pre-processing We study the resource-constrained project scheduling problem with stochastic activity durations. We introduce a new class of scheduling policies for solving this problem, which make a number of a-priori sequencing decisions in a pre-processing phase while the rema...
