We consider the multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem. The focus is on an algorithm which is supposed to find a makespan optimal solution. This algorithm has been presented in a recent paper by Speranza and Vercellis. The correctness of the algorithm is examined. Moreover,...

Abstract Systems deteriorate over time and hence require maintenance. This paper discusses the operational performance of a repairable system subjected to several modes of failure. Unlike many models in the literature, where after each failure the system is perfectly repaired (replaced), it is...

The paper describes an algorithm for the generation of a general class of precedence- and resource-constrained scheduling problems. Easy and hard instances for the single- and multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem are benchmarked by using the state of the art...
