A study on Influence of CCPM+ Parameters on Project Scheduling

摘要

To tackle problems in traditional project system, CCPM (Critical Chain Project Management) was introduced by Goldratt (1997) to identify both task dependence and resource conflicts as main constraints within a project [1]. In this paper, Critical Chain software CCPM+ is utilized to automate the Critical Chain planning process on an example project, from which more in-depth discussions are made based on computerized simulation process by CCPM+. It includes the investigation on the influence of different parameter values on project duration and buffer sizing.
