| Abstract: | This paper addresses the problem of scheduling multiple resource-constrained projects with the objective of minimizing weighted tardiness costs. Extending their earlier heuristic scheduling work for production shops, the authors develop an efficient and effective means of generating low cost schedules for multiple projects requiring multiple resources. A "cost-benefit" scheduling policy with resource pricing is developed which balances the marginal cost of delaying the start of an eligible activity with the marginal benefit of such a delay. |
