Today, many enterprises in different industries take part in various projects, and organizational performances depend more and more on project performances. In order to maximize performance, effective management of project functions is crucial. In this regard, we focus on scheduling and control functions and their relation. Characteristics of data sharing among them and possible integration strategies are theoretically investigated. A model base for a decision support framework that accounts for these interdependencies and supports managers is developed. To solve the formulated integrated project scheduling and control problem, a tabu search algorithm is combined with optimal control techniques. As a result, a project schedule as well as the means and timing of interventions are determined such that the project cost is minimized. The obtained results are supported by computational experiments. Integrated models and algorithms to be developed aim to fill an important theoretical gap in project management.

An integrated scheduling and control model for multi-mode projects
Hazır, Öncü; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2013-01-01)
In today's highly competitive uncertain project environments, it is of crucial importance to develop analytical models and algorithms to schedule and control project activities so that the deviations from the project objectives are minimized. This paper addresses the integrated scheduling and control in multi-mode project environments. We propose an optimization model that models the dynamic behavior of projects and integrates optimal control into a practically relevant project scheduling problem. From the ...
A knowledge representation tool for architectural spaces : a study on surgery unitsh
Us, Mehta; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2019)
The nature of construction projects is very iterative and there are various people involved from different disciplines and organizations in the process. Design stage is unique, complex and require combination and expertise of different people. The capture and reuse of design experience is considered as an efficient way to promote a better design process and efficient building solutions. The smallest part in a building is the space. It is a long-term asset of a building; therefore, a space knowledge manageme...
An Integrated regression-bootstrap sampling scheduling method for probabilistic duration range estimation of construction projects
Barış, Özgür; Sönmez, Rifat; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
The estimation of project duration is important in construction projects, since it directly affects the costs and the success of the projects. Schedule risks can be determined along with the duration estimations in order to assess the possibility of delay penalties and additional costs. Therefore, the accuracy of the estimation of project duration range is very crucial in construction industry to assess the schedule risks. This thesis presents an integrated approach of non-parametric bootstrap sampling meth...
A Hybrid genetic algorithm for multi mode resource constrained scheduling problem for large size projects
Gürel, Mustafa; Sönmez, Rifat; Department of Civil Engineering (2015)
Just like in all industries, some of the available resources, in order to finish a project on time, are constrained in construction industry. To be able to finish the project on time has high importance both for the contractor and for the owner. Project scheduling in which resources are limited for a particular time are called as resource constrained project scheduling problems (RCPSP) and occupies a significant place in construction management. Especially for large scale projects, little success has been a...
The resource allocation capabilities of commercial project management software packages for resource constrained project scheduling problem
Çekmece, Kerem; Sönmez, Rifat; Department of Civil Engineering (2009)
Resource constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) has been subject of extensive research in project management literature as RCPSP is one of the most challenging problems in the project management and is of great practical importance. In this thesis, resource allocation capabilities of Primavera Enterprise V.6.0-Project Management (P6) and MS Project 2007 (MS) were evaluated for solving overallocated problems in the RCPSP. Fourty-five resource overallocated instance projects were selected from the PSP...
