Abstract

Into the engineering projects is usual to see significant deviations from the planning global duration time to the real achieved. This situation presents some questions about the schedule planning activities effectiveness or control during the execution. The present work develops an algorithm for multi-project scheduling with dynamic resource allocation. The algorithm uses variable total resource availability and priority rules in order to schedule activities and renewable resources, like the manpower or the equipment. System performance has been measured on overall project makespan. The model has been proved using activity networks modeled on dynamic systems software for a case of study in a Bogotá- Colombia electricity distributor. The results have shown a time reduction on the global projects duration time.
