Abstract:
Most of the researches on project planning and scheduling have supposed that there is a complete and fixed information about the activities duration and amount of resources needed for project, but in reality we face lots of uncertainty in activities duration and required resources. In previous researches there are some cases which lead to more than one schedule for project, but in most of them they offer no solution for choosing between the schedules. In this project we are trying to make a nonlinear model of project environment by using Weibull distribution as activities duration and then we determine the input information by using the methods of probability encoding in decision analysis. We solve the model by GAMS software and for choosing between alternatives we deploy analytic hierarchy process (AHP).
