The multi-mode resource constrained project scheduling problem (MM RCPSP) is a generalization of the well-studied RCPSP. A literature review reveals applications of inexact heuristics or metaheuristics approaches for solving these problems, however, exact approaches are few and do not consider...

The multi-mode resource constrained project scheduling problem (MM RCPSP) is a NP-hard problem representing a generalization of the well-studied RCPSP. Depth-first tree search approach by Sprecher & Drexl (1998) is the best known exact solution tree search procedure for this problem. In this...

In a recent paper, Icmeli and Erengue (1996) present an algorithm to maximize the Net Present Value (NPV) of a given project under renewable resource constraints. It is shown here, with the help of an example, that in some cases the algorithm fails to find an optimal solution. A simple...

A four-step strategy is proposed for scheduling a set of partially ordered resource-constrained activities on a given number of identical parallel machines. For regular measures, the generated schedule is optimal. In the first step, the difficulty level of the problem instance is estimated using...

We describe a general best-first tree search scheme that schedules a set of partially ordered jobs under resource constraints to optimize a non-regular performance measure. The scheme has been implemented for two categories of problems. In the first category, jobs have individual duedates, and...

A firm’s ‘competitive advantage’ is considered to arise from certain ‘factors internal to the firm as postulated by the resource based view’ or from ‘external sources and industry structure.’ However, it remains unclear as to “how” these factors result in competitive advantage,...
