- Abstract
-
In the context of stochastic resource-constrained project scheduling we introduce a novel class of scheduling policies, the linear preselective policies. They combine the benefits of preselective policies and priority policies; two classes that are well known from both deterministic and stochastic scheduling. We study several properties of this new class of policies which indicate its usefulness for computational purposes. Based on a new representation of preselective policies as AND/OR precedence constraints we derive efficient algorithms for computing earliest job start times and state a necessary and sufficient dominance criterion for preselective policies. A computational experiment based on 480 instances empirically validates the theoretical findings.
