Abstract

Project scheduling problem is to make a schedule for allocating the loans to a project such that the total cost and the completion time of the project are balanced under some constraints. This paper presents an uncertain project scheduling problem, of which both the duration times and the resources allocation times are uncertain variables. An uncertain programming model with multiple objectives is obtained, whose first objective is to minimize the total cost, and second objective is to minimize the overtime. Genetic algorithm is employed to solve the proposed uncertain project scheduling model, and its efficiency is illustrated by a numerical experiment.
