New Proactive Time Buffer Heuristics for Robust Project Scheduling

Blog Article

Robust scheduling is aiming at Lower Control Panel constructing proactive schedules capable of dealing with multiple disruptions during project execution.Insertion a time buffer, before an activity start time, is a method to improve the robustness (stability) of a baseline schedule.In this paper, we introduce new heuristics for inserting time buffers in a given baseline schedule while the project due date is predefined and stochastic activity duration is considered.Computational results obtained from a set of benchmark projects show that the proposed heuristics Hitches capable of generating proactive schedules with acceptable quality and solution robustness.
