Multi-project scheduling with resource transfers: Planning approaches, models and methods (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783839125793)

Companies that carry out multiple projects in parallel often pursue a resource strategy that allows multi-tasking and multi-projecting. In such an environment resources have to switch between projects repeatedly. A large amount of time is spent on transferring or adjusting resources to new tasks on different projects. These transfer times - as well as the related cost - must be considered already in the planning phase of the (multi-)project to ensure efficient utilisation of scarce company resources. The book provides a deep insight into resource transfers and the resulting (multi-)project scheduling problem as well as various methods to generate transfer-regarding schedules.
