Multi-mode resource leveling in projects with mode-dependent generalized precedence relations

作者:

Highlights:

• We study the multi-mode project resource leveling problem.

• Mode-dependent generalized precedence relations are considered.

• We propose two solution approaches: decomposition and integration.

• We devise a hybrid estimation of distribution algorithm and two descent algorithms.

• Computational results show that our algorithms outperform the baseline algorithms.
