Abstract

This paper treats the problem of project (or machine) scheduling with resource constraints to achieve minimum total duration time as a disjunctive graph. The prospective advantage of this approach is the elimination of the need to consider individual time periods over the program horizon; a feasibility check determines whether the resource constraints can be met by any particular network representation of the project. The paper gives an algorithm that uses partial enumeration for what is essentially a mixed integer program. The algorithm employs a maximum-flow computation as a check for feasibility with respect to available resources.
