Research on Scheduling Concepts in Project and Production Type Activities.

Abstract

The research has achieved the resolution of several problems in: the optimal allocation of funds to individual activities when the time-cost-trade-off function is convex; the development of approximating procedures to achieve a prescribed error bound on the ratio of the approximate to the optimum costs; the development of procedures for the estimation of the various network parameters under the PERT model of activity networks; the issue of network reducibility; and the problem of scheduling lots under the influence of learning and forgetting. Keywords: Activity networks; Production scheduling; and Discrete optimization.
