Operations Research and Project Management Papers
Exploiting the Scheduling Algorithms in SAS/OR Software
Radhika Kulkarni, SUGI Proceedings, 1994.
Abstract
The scheduling algorithms that are part of the SAS/OR software product, when combined with the flexible programming and graphical tools available in the SAS System, provide a rich environment for modeling problems that arise in production and operations management. The main purpose of this paper is to show that the use of the CPM procedure is not limited to traditional project management situations. Several heuristic algorithms used in job shop or flow shop scheduling can be easily programmed using PROC CPM. In addition, some of the new features in PROC CPM that allow you to associate calendars with resources and specify resource driven durations are illustrated in a manpower scheduling example.
