Abstract:

Solving NP-hard Problems like Multi-Mode Resource Constrained Multi-Project Scheduling Problems (MMRCMPSP) needs efficient search and optimization strategies. The combination of different approaches such as a meta-heuristic (Genetic Algorithm) for the mode assignment and a Heuristic (Priority Rules) for the job selection allows a 2-step solving-process. In this paper, we present such an approach for solving MMRCMPSP implemented with a simulation-based optimization tool. We investigate the influence of specific parameters of the algorithm to figure out which parameters mostly affect the result of MMRCMPSP.
