Repetitive project scheduling using genetic algorithms
Repetitive projects consist of multiple units that are identical or similar in nature, with various activities or trades repeatedly executed from one physical unit to another during the construction process. This repetitive construction process renders it desirable to schedule the execution of …

Hybrid Solving Techniques for Project Scheduling Problems
Ressourcenbeschränkte Scheduling-Probleme umfassen viele praktische, kombinatorische Optimierungsprobleme, wie sie u.a. in Produktionsbetrieben entstehen. Bereits einzelne Charakteristika dieser Probleme sind auf stark NP-schweren Probleme zurückkzuführen, so dass sowohl Theoretiker als auch …

Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling with Autonomous Learning Effects
… largely unaccounted for in resource-constrained project scheduling. This thesis considers the idea that learning effects could allow selected activities to be completed within reduced time, if they're scheduled after activities where workers learn relevant skills. This paper computationally …

Project Scheduling in the Presence of Productivity Functions
The need for good quality project scheduling methods arises in many fields such as construction, manufacturing, and military operations, among others. In this thesis, we develop a solution methodology which determines the sequence in which the activities of the project must be processed and the …

Including Generative Mechanisms in Project Scheduling using Hybrid Simulation
… seeks to expand the range of concepts used in project scheduling and aligns with the broader research effort to rethink project management. It begins with the observation that current project scheduling practice is based on ideas from the 1960’s, whilst research has developed considerably since …

Relaxation Adaptive Memory Programming For The Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem
The resource constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) is one of the most intractable problems in operations research; it is NP-hard in the strong sense. Due to the hardness of the problem, exact solution methods can only tackle instances of relatively small size. For larger instances commonly …

A Systematic Framework for Machine Learning-Based Robust Project Scheduling Under Uncertainty
Project-oriented organisations continue to face challenges, such as delays and cost overruns, throughout the execution of projects. These challenges arise due to the uncertainties and risks that occur throughout project execution. Classical project scheduling approaches in the field, which …

A logarithmic cost-duration analysis
Total cost for project scheduling, in general, consists of two independent costs, indirect costs and direct costs. Indirect costs are proportional to project duration, with the penalty rate factor. Direct costs are related to the activity durations. An important problem of cost-duration analysis is …

Using critical chain project management methodologies to build a production schedule
Critical Chain project management methodologies have been used for the last ten years to manage a wide range of projects. These methods, which apply Eli Goldratt's Theory of Constraints, have demonstrated the ability to complete projects faster and with greater predictability. While the focus of …

Sistema de planificación estocástico de proyectos: Implicaciones en la gestión de riesgos
In this work titled 'Stochastic Project Scheduling System: Implications for Risk Management' we develop a stochastic risk model for the project's network depicted by more general Stochastic Petri Nets. The model expresses the uncertainty about activities' duration, and it includes contingency plans …

Integration of program evaluation and review technique (PERT), gantt chart and genetic algorithm in project management scheduling
Project scheduling is important to the completion of a project. Since having delay, out of inventory and budget overrun make the failure of the project, project managers shall be able to handle a project with a certain scheduling decision making tool accordingly. A good technique for scheduling the …

DESIGN FOR ASSEMBLY AND SCHEDULE OPTIMIZATION FOR LARGE STRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION
… is a critical factor in the success of a project because of the cost and time required. The construction of a large structure is long and expensive due to the number of processes and resources required, the complexity of the processes and the dependencies between tasks. Two methods have …
