Optimization of Resource Allocation and Leveling Using Genetic Algorithms
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Resource allocation and leveling are among the top challenges in project management. Due to the complexity of projects, resource allocation and leveling have been dealt with as two distinct subproblems solved mainly using ...
Closure to “Reconstruction of the Building Infrastructure: Two Performance Prediction Models” by Mohamed Attalla, Tarek Hegazy, and Ralph Haas
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Computerized System for Efficient Delivery of Infrastructure Maintenance/Repair Programs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper discusses three common approaches used by owner organizations to deliver infrastructure maintenance/repair (M/R) programs that involve multiple distributed sites: using in-house resources, outsourcing to ...
Discussion of “Permutation-Based Elitist Genetic Algorithm for Optimization of Large-Sized Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling” by Jin-Lee Kim and Ralph D. Ellis Jr.
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Discussion of “Time-Profit Trade-Off Analysis for Construction Projects” by Ahmed Senouci and Khaled El-Rayes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Closure to “Improving Design Coordination for Building Projects. I: Information Model” by Tarek Hegazy, Essam Zaneldin, and Donald Grierson
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Flexible Activity Relations to Support Optimum Schedule Acceleration
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Discussion of “Ant Colony Optimization for Multimode Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling” by Hong Zhang
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Multimode Resource-Constrained Scheduling and Leveling for Practical-Size Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper aims at providing a fast near-optimum solution to the multimode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP) in large-scale projects, with and without resource-leveling constraints. The MRCPSP problem ...
Cost Optimization in Projects with Repetitive Nonserial Activities
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A practical model for scheduling and cost optimization of repetitive projects is proposed in this paper. The model objective is to minimize total construction cost comprising direct cost, indirect cost, interruption cost, ...
