Abstract:

This thesis is about software project scheduling and use of earned value method on software projects. As a result of the study, a solution for software project scheduling problems is proposed. A mathematical formulation, developed using integer programming method, is at the heart of the solution. Objective of the formulation is to minimize the development costs consisting of direct labor cost, indirect costs and probable penalty costs. The formulation takes the capability and compatibility variances among resources into account whereas contemporary approaches mostly focus on resource availabi

Abstract:

In project scheduling, the activity durations can often be reduced by dedicating additional resources. Time/Cost Trade-off Problem considers the compromise between the total cost and project duration. The discrete version of the problem assumes a number of time/cost pairs, so called modes, and selects a mode for each activity. In this thesis we consider the Discrete Time/Cost Trade-off Problem. We first study the Deadline Problem, i.e., the problem of minimizing total cost subject to a deadline on project duration. To solve the Deadline Problem, we propose several optimization and approximatio

Abstract:

Although the construction industry has been evolving for centuries and researchers have been seeking innovative solutions for decades, diverse challenges still exist in making the construction process faster, safer, cheaper and more accurate. It is believed that Building Information Modeling (BIM) can lead to greater efficiency through the incremental collaboration. The data in BIM system is extremely useful and can be generated to optimize the project delivery processes. However, since BIM increases the project design cost and requires a big learning curve, project participants are concerned

Abstract:

In this thesis, we consider a discrete time/cost trade-off problem with a single nonrenewable resource. We assume the resource is released at some prespecified time points and at some prespecified quantities. We also assume that the costs due to the activities are incurred at their completions. Our aim is to minimize total project completion time. We formulate the problem as a pure integer programming model. We show that the problem is strongly NP-hard. We find lower bounds by pure linear programming and mixed integer linear programming relaxations of the model. We develop three heuristic proc

This study develops a systems integration project scheduling model which identifies the assignment of activity responsibilities that minimizes expected project implementation cost, considering the project risk. Assignment of resources to the individual jobs comprising the project is a persistent problem in project management. Mostly, skilled labor is an essential resource and both the time and the cost incurred to perform a job depend on the resource to which job is assigned.

Majority of the studies in the scheduling literature is devoted to time based performance measures. In this thesis, we develop a model that considers monetary issues in single machine scheduling environments. We assume all the jobs should be completed by a common due date. An early revenue is earned if the completion time is before or on the due date, and a tardy revenue is gained if the job is completed after the due date. We consider restricted and unrestricted due date versions of the problem. Our objective is the maximization of the net present value of all revenues. We first investigate

Abstract:

We consider multi-class, single server queueing systems and we seek to devise policies for server allocation which minimise some long-term cost function. In most of the work to date on the optimal dynamic control of such systems, holding cost rates are assumed to be linear in the number of customers present. Such assumptions have been argued to be unrealistic and thus inappropriate: see Van Meighem (1995). With pure priority policies, which often emerge from analyses based on linear holding cost assumptions, there is often the problem that service offered to lower priority traffic is unaccepta

Starting from the assumption that its computational complexity status is open, they develop a branch-and-bound procedure, and identify special cases that are solvable in polynomial time. In this note, we review three previously established, related results which show that the general problem is solvable in polynomial time.

The STI problem is a specific form of the SRCPSP, which may be considered to be a cross between two types of problems in the general form: the Stochastic Project Scheduling Problem, and the Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem. The stochastic nature of this problem is in the occurrence/non-occurrence of tasks with deterministic duration.

Currently, the construction industry is still using the traditional 2D drawings to conduct the quantity estimates. However, this process is often inefficient and time consuming. Moreover, it is very likely to have inaccurate estimates or omission in the BOQ. On the contrary, “Building Information Modeling” is a 3D model technique which contains different building information in different fields. The information includes materials, quantities, prices, and others. It can also achieve

Abstract:

碩士<br>朝陽科技大學<br>營建工程系碩士班<br>89<br>Construction time-cost trade-off analysis is an important process of the construction project planning. Construction engineers can use the floats among the activities to lower the project cost without impacting the overall project duration. Among the construction projects, such as high-rise building, some activities are performed repeatedly and have a great impact on the overall project duration and cost. These repetitive activities play more important role in the time-cost trade-off analysis. However, to perform the construction time-cost trade-off analysis f
