One of the main tasks in project management is the scheduling of the project, that is, the temporal arrangement of activities. Resources are required to perform activities and are available with limited capacities. Therefore, within the project management the activities are to be scheduled subject to precendence and resource constraints. In practice, different types of resources may occur. Renewable resources (e.g. machines) are available at each point in time. Nonrenewable resources (e.g. money) are depleted by use. These resources only affect the scheduling of activities if activities can be carried out in alternative modes which differ, for example, in duration and amount of resources needed. To describe these scheduling problems we use mathematical models. The techniques to solve resource constrained project scheduling problems are descriebed with branch and bound methods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carsten Heuring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3638684962\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783638684965\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grin Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/18\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.08d","brand":"Carsten Heuring","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437330772223,"sku":"9783638684965","price":39.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_24cfa030-6232-44c2-887c-d7a6e43cda71.jpg?v=1777161089","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/exact-solution-methods-of-project-carsten-heuring-9783638684965","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
