A FRAMEWORK TO OPTIMIZE THE SELECTION OF PROJECTS AND THE ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES WITHIN A STRUCTURED BUSINESS ORGANIZATION UNDER TIME, RESOURCE AND BUDGET CONSTRAINTS

摘要

Aspects of this disclosure are provided for efficiently allocating resources to projects in a schedule under time, resource and budget constraints. In some embodiments, a method is provided. The method accesses a variable for determining efficient allocation of resources in a schedule, including a set of project dependent values indicating which projects in the plurality of projects should be completed as a requirement for completing other projects in the plurality of projects. may include the step of The method also includes determining, based on the set of project dependency values, a dependency path representing an order of projects to be completed, wherein a project in the dependency path can be started until all previous projects in the dependency path are completed. determining the dependent path, which is absent; and determining an efficient selection of a project to be completed based on the dependent path and limited by the budget expenditure within a timeline that maximizes the optimization goal.
