A Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem With Multi-Modes

Altintas, Cansu

In this study, the authors consider a project scheduling problem with a single non-renewable resource. The authors assume that the resource is released at scheduled times and specified quantities and the resource is consumed at activity completion. The activities can be processed at different modes where a mode is defined by a processing time and a resource requirement amount. The problem is to select the modes and timings of the activities so as to minimize the project completion time. The authors give a mixed integer linear programming model and discuss some variable elimination mechanisms to enhance its efficiency.

A Branch and Bound Algorithm for a Multi-Mode Project Scheduling Problem With a Single Non-Renewable Resource
Altıntaş, Cansu; Azizoğlu, Meral (2020-04-01)
In this paper, a project scheduling problem with multi-modes and a single non-renewable resource is considered. The resource is released in pre-specified times at pre-specified quantities. An activity can be executed at different modes where a mode is defined by a processing time and a resource requirement amount. The objective is to minimize the project completion time. A branch and bound algorithm that enumerates the partial solutions based on the mode assignment decisions is presented. The results of the...

In this study, we consider a project scheduling problem with a single nonrenewable resource. We assume that the resource is released in scheduled times at specified quantities and the resource is consumed at activity completions. The activities can be processed at different modes where a mode is defined by a processing time and a resource requirement amount. Our problem is to select the modes and timings of the activities so as to minimize the project completion time. We give an efficient mathematical formu...

In this thesis, we consider a multi-mode project scheduling problem with a single nonrenewable resource. We assume that the resource is released in pre-specified times at pre-specified quantities and the resource is consumed at activity completions. The activities can be processed at different modes where a mode is defined by a processing time and a resource requirement amount.

LP relaxation-based solution algorithms for the multi-mode project scheduling with a non-renewable resource
Azizoğlu, Meral; Pamir, Selin Kirbiyik (2015-01-01)
In this study, we consider a multi-mode resource allocation problem with a single non-renewable resource. We assume the resource is released at defined time points and at defined quantities. We also assume that the activity costs are charged once they are completed. Our aim is to minimise the project completion time. We formulate the problem as a pure integer programming model and show that it is strongly NP-hard. We find lower bounds by pure and mixed integer linear programming relaxations of the model and...
A bicriteria rescheduling problem on unrelated parallel machines : network flow and enumeration based approaches
Özlen, Melih; Azizoğlu, Meral; Department of Industrial Engineering (2006)
This study considers bicriteria approaches to the minimum cost network flow problem and a rescheduling problem where those approaches find their applications. For the bicriteria integer minimum cost network flow problem, we generate all efficient solutions in two phases. The first phase generates the extreme supported efficient points that are the extreme points of the objective space of the continuous bicriteria network flow problem. In the second phase, we generate the nonextreme supported and unsupported...
