The execution of a project requires resources that are generally scarce. Classical approaches to resource allocation assume that the usage of these resources by an individual project activity is constant during the execution of that activity; in practice, however, the project manager may vary resource usage over time within prescribed bounds. This variation gives rise to the project scheduling problem which consists in allocating the
scarce resources to the project activities over time such that the
project duration is minimized, the total number of resource units
allocated equals the prescribed work content of each activity, and
various work-content-related constraints are met.
We formulate this problem for the first time as a mixed-integer
linear program. Our computational results for a standard test
set from the literature indicate that this model outperforms the
state-of-the-art solution methods for this problem.
