Since its advent, the 'just-in-time'-paradigm has considerable influence on production planning and control. While originally employed for high-volume production, 'just-in-time'-concepts are meanwhile documented for low-volume, make-to-order production as well. An example is the assembly of...

Der vorliegende Beitrag beschreibt neuere Entwicklungen der computergestützten Projektplanung. Im Mittelpunkt steht das sogenannte Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem, ein Modell, das explizit oder implizit Softwarepaketen zum Projektmanagement zugrundeliegt. Basierend auf einer...

We present a set of benchmark instances for the evaluation of Solution procedures for single- and multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problems. The instances have been systematically generated by the Standard project generator ProGen. They are characterized by the input-parameters...

This study assesses the quality of seven commercial project management systems to perform finite scheduling. We give a brief survey of the way commercial project management systems work and especially how they perform finite scheduling. Since the implemented methods are proprietary, we measure...

Die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt, welchen Beitrag die Koordinations- und Integrationsmechanismen des Projektmanagements zur effizienten Abwicklung von Projekten leisten können. Im Rahmen einer Taxonomie wird zwischen intrafunktionaler, interfunktionaler und interorganisationaler Koordination...

We consider a master surgery scheduling (MSS) problem in which block operating room (OR) time is assigned to different surgical specialties. While many MSS approaches in the literature consider only the impact of the MSS on operating theater and operating staff, we enlarge the scope to...

This paper addresses the resource-constrained project scheduling problem with flexible resource profiles (FRCPSP). Such a problem often arises in many real-world applications, in which the resource usage of an activity is not merely constant, but can be adjusted from period to period. The FRCPSP...
