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 ...

Abstract: Windows delay analysis has been recognized as one of the most credible techniques for analyzing construction delays. To overcome some of the drawbacks of windows delay analysis, this paper introduces improvements to a ...

Abstract: While the critical path method (CPM) has been useful for scheduling construction projects, years of practice and research have highlighted serious drawbacks that hinder its use as a decision support tool. This paper argues ...

Abstract: Project deadline and resource limits are practical constraints that coexist in most projects. While heuristic methods for constrained resource scheduling (CRS) have become mainstream in commercial scheduling software, no ...

Abstract: Real-life construction projects are large in size and are challenged by many constraints, including strict deadlines and resource limits. In this paper, constraint programming (CP) is used as an advanced mathematical ...
