Multi-mode resource and precedence-constrained project scheduling is a well-known challenging real-world optimisation problem. An important variant of the problem requires scheduling of activities for multiple projects considering availability of local and global resources while respecting a range of constraints. This problem has been addressed by a competition, and associated set of benchmark ...

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 ...

Extensive research has been devoted to resource constrained project scheduling problem. However, little attention has been paid to problems where a certain time penalty must be incurred if activity preemption is allowed. In this paper, we consider the project scheduling problem of minimizing the total cost subject to resource constraints, earliness-tardiness penalties and preemption penalties, ...

The project scheduling and resource allocation problems have been studied using different optimization methods. The resource leveling problem was proposed to reduce the resource fluctuation and was always studied independently resource constraint problem. For example, resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) was proposed to optimize scheduling under resource constraints. This res...

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 (...
