Abstract
In this paper, a new multi-objective time-cost constrained resource availability cost problem is proposed. The mathematical model is aimed to minimize resource availability cost by considering net present value of resource prices in order to evaluate the economic aspects of project to maximize the quality of project's resources to satisfy the expectations of stakeholders and to minimize the variation of resource usage during project. Since the problem is NP-hard, to deal with the problem a simulated annealing approach is applied, also to validate our results GAMS software is used in small size test problems. Due to the dependency of SA algorithm to its initial parameters a taghuchi method is used to find the best possible SA parameters combinations to reach near optimum solutions in large size problems.
