A mixed-integer linear programming model for solving fuzzy stochastic resource constrained project scheduling problem

Abstract

This paper addresses resource-constrained project scheduling problem with mixed uncertainty of randomness and fuzziness (FS-RCPSP). The activity durations are considered to be fuzzy random variables. A resource flow network based mathematical model with fuzzy random variables is presented. Then, this model is transformed into a mixed-integer linear programming model with crisp variables. The CPLEX 12.6.0.1 solver in AIMMS (2014) is employed for applying the proposed model to solve 960 benchmark instances generated from the well-known sets J30 and J60 in PSPLIB. The computational results are encouraging and indicate the ability of the proposed model to handle the FS-RCPSP.
