We consider the problem of scheduling multiple, large-scale, make-to-order assemblies under resource, assembly area, and part availability constraints. Such problems typically occur in the assembly of high volume, discrete make-to-order products. Based on a list scheduling procedure which has...

We consider the classical resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP). The paper gives a detailed algorithmic description and provides theoretical results on two widely known problem specific heuristics: The serial and the parallel scheduling scheme. An in-depth computational study...

We review the well-known RSM priority rule to solve the resource constrained project scheduling problem. A detailed analysis of this rule reveals that it is based on assumptions which do not hold in general and hence might lead to poor solutions. Consequently, an improved RSM priority rule is...

Investment projects consist of activities which are interrelated by techno-logical and resource constraints. The timing of payments depends on the scheduling of the activities which is not known a priory. Hence, the decision to be made, is to find a feasible Investment schedule with maximum net...
