Project Scheduling with Resource Constraints by Fuzzy Gantt Chart and Genetic Algorithm

摘要


Project scheduling is one of the most challenging optimization problems because of the complexity in estimating the resource requirement and considering resource constraints. This work aims at the applications of (1) fuzzy Gantt chart to estimate the resource requirement and (2) genetic algorithm (GA) to calculate optimal activity priority and duration within resource constraints in project scheduling. Fuzzy Gantt chart with linguistic set provides a way to estimate resource requirement more reasonably. Besides, this work presents the chromosome of GA determining activity priority and duration simultaneously. Numerical results show that this application can significantly reduce the maximum resource from 89 to 40 men with similar project makespan compared to the schedule without resource constraints. The application can also effectively reduce the project makespan from 80 to 69 days under the same resource constraint compared with conventional GA.
