Abstract

This paper reports on a computer model which has been developed to realistically simulates the progress of projects. The major part of the model is a heuristic scheduler that has been run under three types of project resource organisations. The three organisational regimes used are central management, section management with co-operation between the sections and independent section management. The resultant project duration under given resource constraints has been used in each of these project management regimes as a measure of the efficiency of the resource scheduling process. It has been found that the scheduling is more effective in the case of section management with co-operation between the sections than the other two cases.
