Multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling with uncertain activity cost

作者:

Highlights:

• A new optimization model is developed for scheduling projects under uncertain activity costs.

• Our approached provides a vehicle to obtain exact solutions to the addressed problem.

• A hybrid heuristic and genetic algorithm solves medium to large instances efficiently.

• Project deadline, budget and variation of cost significantly impact optimal solutions.
