In this study, results of a comparison on benchmark test problems are presented to investigate the performance of Primavera V.4.1 with its two resource allocation priority rules and MS Project 2003. Resource allocation capabilities of the packages are measured in terms of deviation from the upper bound of the minimum makespan. Resource constrained project scheduling problem instances are taken from PSPLIB which are generated under a factorial design from ProGen. Statistical tests are applied to the results for investigating the significance effectiveness of the parameters.

A comparison of data mining methods for prediction and classification types of quality problems Anaklı, Zeynep; Anaklı, Zeynep; Department of Industrial Engineering (2009) In this study, an Analytic Network Process (ANP) and Preference Ranking Organization MeTHod for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE) based approach is developed and used to compare overall performance of some commonly used classification and prediction data mining methods on quality improvement data, according to several decision criteria. Classification and prediction data mining (DM) methods are frequently used in many areas including quality improvement. Previous studies on comparison of performance of the...
Hybrid ranking approaches based on data envelopment analysis and outranking relations Eryılmaz, Utkan; Karasakal, Esra; Department of Industrial Engineering (2006) In this study two different hybrid ranking approaches based on data envelopment analysis and outranking relations for ranking alternatives are proposed. Outranking relations are widely used in Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM) for ranking the alternatives and appropriate in situations when we have limited information on the preference structure of the decision maker. Yet to apply these methods DM should provide exact values for method parameters (weights, thresholds etc.) as well as basic information suc...
Interval priority weight generation from interval comparison matrices in analytic hierarchy process Öztürk, Ufuk; Karasakal, Esra; Department of Industrial Engineering (2009) In this study, for the well-known Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method a new approach to interval priority weight generation from interval comparison matrix is proposed. This method can be used for both inconsistent and consistent matrices. Also for the problems having more than two hierarchical levels a synthesizing heuristic is presented. The performances of the methods, interval generation and synthesizing, are compared with the methods that are already available in the literature on randomly generate...
On the service models for dynamic scheduling of multi-class base-stock controlled systems Kat, Bora; Avşar, Zeynep Müge; Department of Industrial Engineering (2005) This study is on the service models for dynamic scheduling of multi-class make-to-stock systems. An exponential single-server facility processes different types of items one by one and demand arrivals for different item types occur according to independent Poisson processes. Inventories of the items are managed by base-stock policies and backordering is allowed. The objective is to minimize base-stock investments or average inventory holding costs subject to a constraint on the aggregate fill rate, which is...
An evaluation of the reinsepction decision policies for software code inspections Nalbant, Serkan; Köksal, Gülser; Department of Industrial Engineering (2005) This study evaluates a number of software reinspection decision policies for software code inspections with the aim of revealing their effects regarding cost, schedule and quality related objectives of a software project. Software inspection is an effective defect removal technique for software projects. After the initial inspection, a reinspection may be performed for decreasing the number of remaining defects further. Although, various reinspection decision methods are proposed in the literature, no study...
