The problem addressed is that of scheduling the activities of a project network to minimize project duration under conditions of multiple limited resource requirements and availabilities. Various heuristic sequencing rules have been applied to this problem, and the effectiveness of these rules...

In this paper we describe an integer programming algorithm for allocating limited resources to competing activities (jobs, tasks, etc.) of a project such that the completion time of the project is minimal among all possible completion times. Typical of such problems is the minimization of the...

In service organizations, heterogeneity in workforce skills can lead to variation in end-product/service quality. The multi-mode, resource-constrained, project scheduling problem (MRCPSP), which assumes similar skills among resources in a given resource pool, accounts for differences in quality...
