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...
