Multiple R&D Projects Scheduling Optimization with Improved Particle Swarm Algorithm

الملخص EN

For most enterprises, in order to win the initiative in the fierce competition of market, a key step is to improve their R&D ability to meet the various demands of customers more timely and less costly.

This paper discusses the features of multiple R&D environments in large make-to-order enterprises under constrained human resource and budget, and puts forward a multi-project scheduling model during a certain period.

Furthermore, we make some improvements to existed particle swarm algorithm and apply the one developed here to the resource-constrained multi-project scheduling model for a simulation experiment.

Simultaneously, the feasibility of model and the validity of algorithm are proved in the experiment.
