Abstract EN
With respect to the block assembly schedule in a shipbuilding enterprise, a spatial resource constrained project scheduling problem (SRCPSP) is proposed, which aims to minimize the makespan of a project under the constraints of the availability of a two-dimensional spatial resource and the precedence relationship between tasks.
In order to solve SRCPSP to the optimum, a branch and bound algorithm (BB) is developed.
For the BB-SRCPSP, first, an implicitly enumerative branch scheme is presented.
Secondly, a precedence based lower bound, as well as an effective dominance rule, is employed for pruning.
Next, a heuristic based algorithm is used to decide the order of a node to be selected for expansion such that the efficiency of the algorithm is further improved.
In addition, a maximal space based arrangement is applied to the configuration of the areas required each day in an available area.
Finally, the simulation experiment is conducted to illustrate the effectiveness of the BB-SRCPSP.
