Project Management

In the presence of increasingly dynamic environments, frequent uncertainties, high customer specifications, strict project deadlines, and stricter requirements on sustainability and scarcity of resources, modern project managers are challenged in their ability to schedule and control projects.

Multi-project scheduling is a complex coordination of different resources (i.e. workforce, machines, materials, budgets) in real time and most of the studies are based on limited assumptions - such as each project in a multi-project scheduling is treated as a single project scheduling problem, or simplistically that resources can be transferred between projects without expense and time, or that projects can run without any uncertainties (i.e. under ideal settings).

The aim of this research is to develop a user-friendly computerized platform to predict project success after considering all real-life risk issues.

Most approaches to multi-project scheduling are based on the assumption that resources can be transferred between projects without any expense in time and cost.

Asset plan is a tactical plan for managing an organization’s infrastructure and other assets to deliver an agreed standard of service that aligns with the corporate goals.

The rise of the globalization of manufacturing industries has led to enhanced, decentralized or multi-factory supply chains, which are of considerable interest to both researchers and practitioners. 

Integrated project planning and scheduling is a hot research topic that has provided a blueprint of project’s success that is based on uninterrupted completion of a project.
