Abstract:
Solving Stochastic Resource-Constrained Multi- Project Scheduling Problems (SRCMPSP) is an upcoming topic. Numerous variants, smaller batch sizes and shorter product life cycles lead to more uncertainty. In Production Planning and Control (PPC), stochastic scheduling approaches are coming into focus. The schedule thus is determined during production without following a baseline schedule. In our research project Hybrid PPC, we develop robust heuristics for stochastic project scheduling. The purpose of the approach is a central, simulationbased generation of a decentralized control system. As part of the research, we investigate benchmarking of SRCMPSP, evaluation strategies, as well as heuristic and solution robustness.
