In this paper, a multi-objective project scheduling problem is addressed. This problem considers two conflicting, priority optimization objectives for project managers. One of these objectives is to minimize the project makespan. The other objective is to assign the most effective set of human resources to each project activity. To solve the problem, a multi-objective hybrid search and optimiza...

This work deals with the multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem. In this problem, activities of the project may be executed in more than one operating mode and renewable resource constraints exist. Each activity operation mode has a different duration and requires different amount of renewable resources. The objective function considered is the minimisation of the project co...

in this paper, we present a genetic algorithm (ga) for optimization of a multi-mode resource constrained time cost trade off (mrctct) problem. the proposed ga, each activity has several operational modes and each mode identifies a possible executive time and cost of the activity. beyond earlier studies on time-cost trade-off problem, in mrctct problem, resource requirements of each execution mo...

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 ...

Scheduling problem for repetitive construction projects involves three conflicting objectives. These objectives are project duration, project total cost, and project total interruption time. This paper presents a multi-objective fuzzy linear programming model (FLP) for resolving this problem. Literature concerned with scheduling problems for repetitive construction projects was reviewed. Multi-...

The time - cost tradeoff problem is one of the most critical issues in the project scheduling field and so far, a lot of research has been done with a variety of quantitative and qualitative approaches on this subject. In this research, we intend to provide a two - objective mathematical model which balances crash and delay for activities. So that it provides the right tools for decision makers...

Multi-project management and uncertain environment are very common factors, they bring greater challenges to scheduling due the increase of problem complexity response efficiency requirements. In this paper, a novel hyper-heuristic based filtering genetic programming (HH-FGP) framework is proposed for evolving priority rules (PRs) deal with multi-project considering stochastic activity duration...

In this paper we review different approaches for scheduling projects in multi-project environments. We show the evolution of the methodologies from the Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem to the Decentralized Resource Constrained Multi-Project Scheduling Problem. We argue that traditional methods used in project scheduling cannot cope with the complexity of current real portfolios p...
