Resource constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) has been subject of extensive
research in project management literature as RCPSP is one of the most challenging
problems in the project management and is of great practical importance. In
this thesis, resource allocation capabilities of Primavera Enterprise V.6.0-Project
Management (P6) and MS Project 2007 (MS) were evaluated for solving overallocated
problems in the RCPSP. Fourty-five resource overallocated instance projects
were selected from the PSPLIB to evaluate performance of P6 and MS Project
2007. Three resource allocation priority rules of P6 and two resource allocation
priority rules of MS were used for comparision. The best solutions of different priority
rules for P6 and MS were compared by using t-test. Results of the P6 and MS
were compared with the lower bounds and optimum solutions of the previous heuristic
methods. The comparisions indicate that both P6 and MS has limited capabilities
for solving overallocated problems in RCPSP. Especially for larger projects the
widely used project management software packages can not provide optimum or
near optimum solutions.
