Opis

This book presents the theory and applications of multi-project scheduling in an easy-to-read style. In this book every chapter begins with a preamble introducing different sections and their contents. It introduces the readers to various scheduling rules that are widely used for scheduling resource-constrained multiple projects. The various techniques to solve resource-constrained multi-project scheduling problems faced by managers and practitioners are also discussed. Separate chapters are devoted to depict the performance of scheduling rules (without costs) in the resource-constrained multiple projects, costs relating to tardiness of projects and costs relating to tardiness and earliness of projects. This book has incorporated a wide variety of measures of performance and could be considered quite exhaustive which helps practitioners greatly in decision-making. This book can be used as a reference for industrial engineers, project managers and analysts. In addition, it will be extremely useful to researchers who are pursuing their research in project scheduling.
