Static scheduling in consideration of resource categories in collaborative product development project

In collaborative product development project plan phase, a reasonable allocation plan can shorten project duration. Static scheduling is a useful way to obtain the allocation result. Matching degree and resource categories are introduced into the standard model of multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem to reflect the resource characteristics including three aspects: (1) human resource is different from technology resource, (2) different technology resources will influence project duration, and (3) technology resource quantities also influence duration. Aimed at two static scheduling models, simple genetic algorithm and two-layer parthenogenetic algorithm are designed. Finally, a case study was presented to validate the method.
