Adaptive policies for multi-mode project scheduling under uncertainty
Godinho, Pedro; Branco, Fernando G. - In: European Journal of Operational Research 216 (2012) 3, pp. 553-562
In this paper we propose an adaptive model for multi-mode project scheduling under uncertainty. We assume that there is a due date for concluding the project and a tardiness penalty for failing to meet this due date, and that several distinct modes may be used to undertake each activity. We...
