Abstract | In real life situations project organizations undertake simultaneously multiple projects , projects require different types of resources both storable and non - storable . The availability of the resources are very often constrained and the objective of management is to pursue multiple goals . Here we attempt to study a multiple - project multiple - resource constrained scheduling problem. Literature shows the evidence that very little work has been reported relating to this particular problem We make an attempt here to conduct some studies by formulating two different models the first one is the Integer Goal Programming model and the other a Simulation model These two models are compared according to some multiple criteria such as project slippage, total project delay weighted project delay ,scheduling efficiency and the resource idle time The !GP considers multiple goals of management ,and the simulation consists of different types of priority rules . These two models have been applied to 1-project 3-resources, 2-project 3 - resources and 3 - project 3 - resources cases . A comparative performance under these three situations h as been presented . It is indicated that a project organization can select situation based models in order to resolve the conflict between the top management and the management at the execution level . |
