Abstract

In many practical applications of resource-constrained project scheduling a work content (e.g., in man months) is specified for each activity instead of a fixed duration and fixed resource requirements. In this case, the resource usages of the activities may vary over time. The problem then consists in determining the resource usage of each activity at each point in time such that precedence constraints, resource scarcity, and specific constraints on the evolution over time of resource usages are respected and the project duration is minimized. We present two priority-rule methods for this problem and report on results of an experimental performance analysis for instances with up to 200 activities.
