In this paper, we study the group shop and the mixed shop scheduling problems with single and identical parallel machines at each workstation with the makespan criterion. We adapted a constraint programming formulation previously presented for the classical resource-constrained project scheduling problem. The effectiveness of our approach is evident in the fact that it achieved optimality in 107 out of 130 classical group shop scheduling problem instances and in 320 classical mixed shop scheduling problem instances. In the last set, we obtained 13 new optimal solutions.

resource-constrained project scheduling problem is to make a schedule for minimization of the makespan subject to precedence and resource constraints. In this paper, we consider an uncertain resource-constrained project scheduling problem (URCPSP) in which the activity durations, with no historical data generally, are estimated by experts. In order to deal with these estimations, an uncertainty-theory-based projectscheduling model is proposed. Furthermore, a genetic algorithm integrating a 99-method based uncertain simulation is designed to search the quasi-optimal schedule. Numerical examples are also provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the model and the algorithm.

In this paper, we present a new metaheuristic algorithm for the resource-constrainedproject-scheduling problem. The procedure is a non-standard implementation of fundamental concepts of tabu search without explicitly using memory structures embedded in a population-based framework. The procedure makes use of a fan search strategy to intensify the search, whereas a strategic oscillation mechanism loosely related to the forward/backward technique provides the necessary diversification. Our implementation employs the topological order (TO) representation of schedules. To explore the TO vector space we introduce three types of moves, two of them based on the concept of relative criticality, and a third one based on multi-pass sampling ideas. The strategic utilisation of probabilities for move construction is another distinguishing feature of our approach. Extensive computational testing with more than 2000 problem instances shows the merit of the proposed solution method. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

This research discusses house construction projectscheduling which is classified as resource-constrained project scheduling problem with fuzzy trapezoidal number expressing optimistic and pessimistic view of activity duration. Parallel schedule generation scheme is used to generate feasible scheduling solutions, while firefly algorithm is used to find optimal solution by updating priority value of each activity. A web-based application is developed to run the scheduling simulation. scheduling simulation is conducted to determine the optimal parameter values for firefly algorithm and minimum project makespan. The optimal firefly algorithm parameter values are 10 for light absorption coefficient value, 10 for firefly population, 100 for maximal iteration, and 0.8 for random parameter. With 6 structure resources and 12 finishing resources available for construction project, the minimum project makespan value is [110, 142, 167, 224] with fuzzy magnitude value of 213.583.

In this paper, we present an evolutionary algorithm (EVA) for solving the resource-constrained project scheduling problem with minimum and maximum time lags (RCPSP/max). EVA works on a population consisting of several distance-order-preserving activity lists representing feasible or infeasible schedules. The algorithm uses the conglomerate-based crossover operator, the objective of which is to exploit the knowledge of the problem to identify and combine those good parts of the solution that have really contributed to its quality. In a recent paper, Valls et al. (European J. Oper. Res. 165, 375-386, 2005) showed that incorporating a technique called double justification (DJ) in RCPSP heuristic algorithms can produce a substantial improvement in the results obtained. EVA also applies two double justification operators DJmax and DJU adapted to the specific characteristics of problem RCPSP/max to improve all solutions generated in the evolutionary process. Computational results in benchmark sets show the merit of the proposed solution method.

This paper presents an effective heuristic algorithm based on the framework of the filter-and-fan (F&F) procedure for solving the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP). The proposed solution methodology, called the filter-and-fan approach with adaptive neighborhood switching (FFANS), operates on four different neighborhood structures and incorporates improved local search, F&F search with multiple neighborhoods and an adaptive neighborhood switching procedure. The improved local search, in which a new insert-based move strategy and new time compression measurement of schedules having the same makespan are embedded, is utilized to identify a local optimum and a basic move list. The F&F search, aimed to further improve the local optimum, applies multi-neighborhood filter and fan strategies to generate compound moves and a neighborhood-switch list in a tree search fashion. When the current neighborhood cannot further improve the local optimum, the adaptive neighborhood switching procedure picks the most potential neighborhood for the next run of the local search procedure. The entire solution procedure is autonomous and adaptive due to its variable search range depending on the project sizes and characteristics. Computational results and comparisons with some state-of-the-art algorithms indicate the effectiveness and competence of the proposed FFANS. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

This paper reports on results for the well-known resource-constrained project scheduling problem. A branch-and-bound procedure is developed that takes into account all best performing components from literature, varying branching schemes and search strategies, using the best performing dominance rules and assembling these components into a unified search algorithm. A composite lower bound strategy that statically and dynamically selects the best performing bounds from literature is used to find optimal solutions within reasonable times. An extensive computational experiment is set up to determine the best combination of the various components used in the procedure, in order to benchmark the current existing knowledge on four different datasets from the literature. By varying the network topology, resource scarceness and the size of the projects, the computational experiments are carried out on a diverse set of projects. The procedure was able to find some new lower bounds and optimal solutions for the PSPLIB instances. Moreover, new best known results are reported for other, more diverse datasets that can be used in future research studies. The experiments revealed that even project instances with 30 activities cannot be solved to optimality when the topological structure is varied. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

For non-preemptive scheduling, time-indexed zero-one linear programming formulations have been deeply analyzed. This note clarifies the current knowledge about the strength of these formulations and shows that some formulations that have been proposed "new" in the literature are in fact weaker or equivalent to those already known. Much of the arguments used follow from a Ph.D. thesis by Sousa, which has been largely overlooked in the literature. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
