title = "Genetic algorithm with critical path improvement strategy for solving project scheduling problem with multiple modes",
abstract = "In this study, the resource-constrained project scheduling problem with multiple modes (rc-PSP/mM) minimizing the makespan as objective is treated, where an activity has different execution modes characterized by different duration and resource requirement combinations. To solve this NP-hard optimization problem, a novel activity list-based genetic algorithm is proposed. It includes the local search procedure using critical path for reduction of makespan of the schedule in rc-PSP/mM. In order to evaluate the performance, the proposed approach is implemented on some standard instances as the computational experiment and the results are compared with the several competitive heuristics in the literature.",
