Scheduling Projects with Multiskill Learning Effect

الملخص EN

We investigate the project scheduling problem with multiskill learning effect.

A new model is proposed to deal with the problem, where both autonomous and induced learning are considered.

In order to obtain the optimal solution, a genetic algorithm with specific encoding and decoding schemes is introduced.

A numerical example is used to illustrate the proposed model.

The computational results show that the learning effect cannot be neglected in project scheduling.

By means of determining the level of induced learning, the project manager can balance the project makespan with total cost.
