A Multi-mode Resource-Constrained DTCTP
Chengen Wang · Journal of Northeastern University · 2008
Extending a conventional DTCTP(discrete time-cost trade-off problem) model by introducing the constraint on renewable resources,a new multi-mode resource-constrained DTCTP or MRC-DTCTP model is presented,where the renewable resources are corresponding to project costs by presetting proper resource price and all activities can be executed in a crash mode so as to shorten the time limit originally planned for the project.A branch and bound(BB) algorithm for solving MRC-DTCTP model is developed and applied to computing the deadline for the project.According to the computation results,an entire time-cost trade-off curve is plotted and the advantages of the MRC-DTCTP model are discussed.
