Resource loading appears in many variants in tactical (mid-term) capacity planning in multi-project environments. It develops a rough sketch of the resource usage and timing of the work packages of a portfolio of orders. The orders need to be executed within a time horizon organized into...

This paper presents an optimization model for the selection of sets of clients that will receive an offer for one or more products during a promotion campaign. We show that the problem is strongly NP-hard and that it is unlikely that a constant-factor approximation algorithm can be proposed for...

We investigate project scheduling with stochastic activity durations to maximize the expected net present value. Individual activities also carry a risk of failure, which can cause the overall project to fail. In the project planning literature, such technological uncertainty is typically...
