A neural network for resource constrained project scheduling programming

The resource constrained project-scheduling problem (RCPSP) aims to minimize the duration of a project. RCPSP is prevalently used in programming the projects with high number of activities and resources such as construction projects. In this study, 240 projects such as residential, office, school,...

In this study, 240 projects such as residential, office, school, etc. are designed and programmed under limited resources. The resource amounts of these projects are determined using three priority rules, these are Latest Finish Time, Minimum Slack Time and Maximum Remaining Path Length which have the highest performance according to the literature, in the amounts of 2, 4, 6 and 8. The project times are estimated using artificial neural network (ANN). A correlation coefficient of 0.70 was obtained from the ANN estimation model. http://journals.vgtu.lt/index.php/JCEM/article/view/2987project managementconstruction projectresource constraintspriority rulesartificial neural network
