Time/Resource Trade-Off in Project Management：analysis and Impacts on Project Performance

摘要

加速工程进度是不能用任何形式可避免的问题.刚好相反,考虑到国际竞争的特性,这正显示其重要性.加速工程施工也给中等规模的企业与类似的行业带来了严重的威胁.因在过度强调工期与在不影响工程质量的前提下相对降低工程费用之间缺少平衡,所以围绕这一问题进行旷日持久的争论已更为人们在实践中所重视.寻求在这些相互冲突的目标间的平衡已成为项目经理们的强烈愿望.鉴于这一问题的复杂性,作者在文中试图正确地分析该问题.基本上,为了使该问题的探索更加严谨,该文阐述了时间/成本优化和时间/资源优化的区别,以及在多样性背景下使用时间/资源优化的必要性,以及资源的完整性和不可替代性.本文通过对加速工程施工方面的实用工具的探索,介绍了处理这类特殊情况时使用的两种方法.它们是:①关于资源一致性的最优化方法,多目标线性规划(MOLIP)②关于资源一致性的启发方法,截断修正法(EMAC)这两种方法考虑了不同类型资源的稀缺性,并且不会影响工程的完工.该文列举了两个例子来阐述如何应用以上两种方法.另外还对这两种方法作了比较来分别说明两种方法的特点.
