Using tabu search to schedule activities of stochastic resource-constrained projects

Article Abstract:

The tabu search methods is proven to be effective in determining stochastic and deterministic solutions to the resource constrained randomized activity duration project scheduling problem. The approach employs tabu lists, randomized short-term memory and multiple starting schedules and was tested on three aircraft maintenance projects. The approach is a valuable tool in improving project schedules and may be applied to other problems of the same nature.
