Description
Summary:Despite the dynamic nature of real life scheduling problems, few studies focus on stochastic resource constrained project scheduling problem and its variants. In this study, we consider stochastic resource possibilities and propose a new chance constraint, piecewise-linear and mixed integer programming model. Model is tested and verified with known project instances. One of the main strengths of the proposed model is it can be used to construct baseline schedules with a predetermined confidence interval. This gives scheduler an opportunity to construct proactive actions in order to minimize disruptions.
