Schedule and cost buffer sizing
Bias in project performance causes schedule and cost to overrun baseline estimates (your model).Bias is the one-sided tendency of actual schedule or cost to overrun the model.A Guide to the Project…

The application of project scheduling techniques in a real-life environment
The scheduling of activities over time has gained increasing attention with the development of the critical path method (CPM) and the program evaluation and review technique (PERT). Since then, a…

Critical chain project scheduling
Critical chain scheduling/Buffer management (CCS/BM)-the direct application of the theory of constraints (TOC) to project management- has received much attention in project management literature.…

Project schedule uncertainty analysis using fuzzy logic
There is continuing interest by academics and practitioners alike in measuring and coping with project schedule uncertainty. Fuzzy logic has been proposed as an alternate approach to probability…

Scheduling programs with repetitive projects using composite learning curve approximations
Programs that require executing a modest number of similar projects arise in several industries, such as aerospace, construction, and defense. The scheduling of such programs often involves deciding…

Solving constrained multiple resource networks both forward and backward using Brooks Algorithm
Many Brooks algorithm (BAG)-based heuristics have been proposed to solve the constrained multiple resource problem. BAG starts at the beginning of a project network, determines a list of available…

A heuristic to maximize the net present value for resource-constrained project-scheduling problems
The objective of this research was to schedule project activities based on maximum net present value (NPV) and minimum duration. A new hybrid heuristic based on the combination of minimum late start…

Improving resource-constrained project schedules with look-ahead techniques
A method, referred to as "look-ahead," has been developed that can provide an improved sequence in which to perform the activities of a resource-constrained project schedule. In particular, this…

Integrated cost and schedule control
Integrated cost and schedule control (C/S) was introduced in the United States more than a quarter of a century ago. However, traditional separated cost and schedule control is still one of the…

Fast-tracking's impact on project change
Aggressive scheduling, or strong forms of fast-tracking, for construction projects is becoming increasingly common in project management because of tight schedules, tight budgets, and client desires…
