Railway scheduling reduces the expected project makespan. [PDF]

open access: yes
The Critical Chain Scheduling and Buffer Management (CC/BM) methodology, proposed by Goldratt (1997), introduced the concepts of feeding buffers, project buffers and resource buffers as well as the roadrunner mentality.

A polynomial algorithm for special case of the one-machine scheduling problem with time-lags [PDF]

open access: yes
The standard one-machine scheduling problem consists in scheduling a set of jobs in one machine which can handle only one job at a time, minimizing the maximum lateness.

Project scheduling under undertainty – survey and research potentials. [PDF]

open access: yes
The vast majority of the research efforts in project scheduling assume complete information about the scheduling problem to be solved and a static deterministic environment within which the pre-computed baseline schedule will be executed. However, in the

Local search performance guarantees for restricted related parallel machine scheduling

open access: yes
We consider the problem of minimizing the makespan on restricted related parallel machines. In restricted machine scheduling each job is only allowed to be scheduled on a subset of machines. We study the worst-case behavior of local search algorithms. In

Resource-constrained project scheduling. [PDF]

open access: yes
: Resource-constrained project scheduling involves the scheduling of project activities subject to precedence and resource constraints in order to meet the objective(s) in the best possible way. The area covers a wide variety of problem types.

When greediness fails: Examples from stochastic scheduling

open access: yes
The purpose of this paper is to present examples which show that deterministic and stochastic scheduling problems often have a surprisingly different behavior.

Approximation Results for Preemptive Stochastic Online Scheduling

open access: yes
We present first constant performance guarantees for preemptive stochastic scheduling to minimize the sum of weighted completion times. For scheduling jobs with release dates on identical parallel machines we derive policies with a guaranteed performance

Comparison of Methods of Pump Scheduling in Water Supply Systems

open access: yes, 2001
In the domestic water supply industry, the reduction of pumping costs is a continuing objective. With the efficient scheduling of pumping operations, it is considered that 10% of the annual expenditure on energy and related costs may be saved.
