- Abstract:
Project resource scheduling can be very effective in the implementation of projects. One of the biggest problems in the process of project implementation is that projects are not implemented according to the initial plan and at the scheduled time. This study aims to present a Sustainable Project Scheduling Algorithm (SPSA) to calculate the size of feeding buffers and project buffer by considering sustainable factors in project construction and controlling the consumption of buffers dynamically during different phases of a wind farm project. The innovations of this research include: a) the presentation of a sustainable buffer management algorithm that monitors and controls buffer consumption in addition to calculating the buffer size, and b) the identification of the required resources by considering sustainable factors in project construction. To analyze the project data and examine the performance of the model, the algorithm is coded in MATLAB software. Sensitivity analysis is carried out to determine the extent to which project execution was influenced by the SPSA. According to the findings, in addition to increasing the productivity of the project, using the algorithm caused this project to be completed in a shorter time compared to similar projects. Additionally, the project execution with the SPSA took 179.9 days, about 3% faster than the actual duration which lasted 185.7 days.
