Abstract

Resource-constrained project scheduling has been a topic in both the research community and the practical oriented business magazines. This chapter presents some advanced results obtained by various research projects, extends the resource models of the previous chapter to other scheduling objectives, studies the effect of activity splitting and setup times and introduces learning effects in a resource-constrained project environment. Each part of this section can be considered as a special topic of resource-constrained project scheduling and can be easily skipped without losing overview on the general dynamic scheduling theme described throughout the book.

Fußnoten
1
In Chap.​ 9, it will be shown that there is a trade-off between the project duration and the idle time of expensive freezing machines for the construction of a tunnel under the Westerschelde.
 
2
The activity durations, their start times and the corresponding project duration for each schedule depend on the degree of learning for each activity. The calculations and construction of the schedule are outside the scope of this section and are determined by an algorithm developed by Van Peteghem and Vanhoucke (2010a).
