Alternate Methods of Project Scheduling with Limited Resources

Abstract

The allocation of resources to contemporaneous projects is a problem characteristic of manufacturing firms, contracting firms, and research and development organizations. In allocating resources it is often found that activities demand more resources than are available. When this happens a question arises regarding which jobs to delay and which jobs to schedule. The object of this study is to statistically assess many of the heuristic solution procedures available for scheduling multiple projects.
