We consider the problem of scheduling multiple, large-scale, make-to-order assemblies under resource, assembly area, and part availability constraints. Such problems typically occur in the assembly of high volume, discrete make-to-order products. Based on a list scheduling procedure which has...

Investment projects consist of activities which are interrelated by techno-logical and resource constraints. The timing of payments depends on the scheduling of the activities which is not known a priory. Hence, the decision to be made, is to find a feasible Investment schedule with maximum net...

We consider the classical resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP). The paper gives a detailed algorithmic description and provides theoretical results on two widely known problem specific heuristics: The serial and the parallel scheduling scheme. An in-depth computational study...

We review the well-known RSM priority rule to solve the resource constrained project scheduling problem. A detailed analysis of this rule reveals that it is based on assumptions which do not hold in general and hence might lead to poor solutions. Consequently, an improved RSM priority rule is...

The problem of scheduling multiple, large scale, make-to-order assemblies is considered. Beside "classical" precedence- and resource constraints as known from resource constrained project scheduling we take spatial resource and part availability constraints into account. The objective is to...

Since its advent, the 'just-in-time'-paradigm has considerable influence on production planning and control. While originally employed for high-volume production, 'just-in-time'-concepts are meanwhile documented for low-volume, make-to-order production as well. An example is the assembly of...

Der vorliegende Beitrag beschreibt neuere Entwicklungen der computergestützten Projektplanung. Im Mittelpunkt steht das sogenannte Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem, ein Modell, das explizit oder implizit Softwarepaketen zum Projektmanagement zugrundeliegt. Basierend auf einer...
