Abstract

Having an initial project schedule to a great extent determines success of projects. However, because of unpredicted factors, actual project development usually deviates from its initial schedule, a situation that requires intervention of project managers to take appropriate remedial actions. To support project managers in this tremendous task, Enhanced Project Schedules (EPS) have been proposed. They incorporate a high degree of uncertainty by providing, in addition to the initial project schedule, a set of remedial actions recommendations. Identifying the appropriate set of remedial actions that supports meeting project goals is challenging. In this paper, we propose a discrete-event simulation approach to identify the optimal remedial action scenarios set given a project schedule goal. We detail the discrete-event simulation approach to design enhanced project schedules.
