Abstract:

This paper presents an adaptation of the Theory of Constraint (TOC ) to the multi – project scheduling problem. Variables customer expectations have forced changes in the company management. Now more than 25% of economic activity suited to manage the projects. This concerns mainly the areas such as engineering, public works sector, aerospace and defense, shipbuilding, organizational consulting, etc. The project is a single, unique event, finished in a certain period of time without exceeding the established budget.The interpretation of TOC and constrained – based scheduling is a solution to maximize the number of project, which the enterprise is able to implement simultaneously. Scheduling problems arise in situations where a set of activities has to be processed by a limited number of resources during a limited period of time. The scheduling problem consists of resources allocation and resources scheduling – ordering of activities on each resource. The alternative way of resources occupancy is presented.
