Abstract

In this article, a backward approach for maximizing net present value (NPV) in multi-mode resource constrained project scheduling problem while assuming discounted positive cash flows (MRCPSP-DC)is proposed. The progress payment method is used and all resources are considered as pre-emptible. The proposed approach maximizes NPV using unscheduled resources through resource calendar in backward mode. A simulated annealing algorithm is developed for solving experimental cases with 50 variables and results are compared with forward serial programming method. The remarkableresults demonstratethat the proposed methodcan effectively improve NPV inMRCPSP-DC while activity splitting is allowed.
