Abstract

Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem(RCPSP) with the Objective of Minimizing Activities' Cost is one of the critical sub-problems in partner selection of construction supply chain management. In this paper, this type of RCPSP is mathematically modelled firstly. The analysis on the characteristic of the problem shows that the objective function is non-regular and the problem is NP-complete. The basic idea for the solution of the problem is clarified. A genetic algorithm is developed and the parameters of the algorithm are analyzed based on the tests of an example. The proposed GA is demonstrated to be effective based on the results of a computational study on the updated PSPLIB.
