Maintenance scheduling under multiple resource constraints using a project scheduling technique

Abstract

Abstract The work presented in this paper deals with the scheduling problem under multiple resource constraints. A heuristic method called the current float technique of resources scheduling under multiple resource constraints is applied to solve this problem. The maintainance activities of some machines of coal handling plant of a thermal power station is considered. The activities are arranged in network diagram and a schedule is developed which will give the information of current status of activities, utilization of resources and idle resources.
