We consider the multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem. The focus is on an algorithm which is supposed to find a makespan optimal solution. This algorithm has been presented in a recent paper by Speranza and Vercellis. The correctness of the algorithm is examined. Moreover,...

Based upon an empirical survey among the 200 biggest CPA firms in Germany an hierarchical modeling framework for audit-staff scheduling with three levels has been developed. For the second level, the so-called medium-to-short-term planning, a binary optimization model is introduced which is...
