In this paper, the performance of activity-based and resource-based policies with newly designed priority rules for stochastic resource-constrained project scheduling problem is considered. The aim paper to maximize expected net present value (eNPV) minimize risk project's by semivariance measurement. 16 (mainly cash flow-based) heuristic are considered, among which 10 derived from deterministi...

The continued operation of a company cannot be separated from the right economic decisions. When making investment decisions, NPV and IRR models are often used due to their excellence.
