1.0 INTRODUCTION

Resource management is one of the most important

aspects of construction project management in today’s

economy because the construction industry is

resource-intensive and the costs of

resources have steadily risen over the last several

decades.

Every project schedule has its own precedence

constraints, which means that each activity can be

processed when all its predecessors are finished. In

general, the purpose of project scheduler is to

minimize the completion time or make span, subject

to precedence constraints.

This paper brings out the drawback in existing

scheduling software and the method of using GA for

resource constraint scheduling by means of a case

study. Traditional scheduling methods use scheduling

rules (heuristics) specific to the project model or

constraint formulation, this method uses a direct

representation of schedules and a search algorithm

that operates with no knowledge of the problem space.

The representation enforces precedence constraints,

and the objective function measures both resource

constraint violations and overall performance.

advantages of using GA based optimization technique

for resource based scheduling has been proved by

several researchers (Weng-Tat Chan,

Cengiz 2002, Ahmed 2008).

Compared with traditional heuristic and mathematical

models, the GA scheduler has several advantages as it

can consider the objectives of time/cost trade

resource-constrained allocation, and resource levelling

simultaneously; it is difficult for traditional models to

have such a function. It has more flexibility to solve

scheduling problems of different types, because no

heuristic rules are necessary.

1.2 Genetic Algorithm

Genetic Algorithms (GA) are inspired by

theory about evolution. The GA is a global search

procedure that searches from one population of

solutions to another, focusing on the area of the best

solution. It models with a set of solutions (represented

by chromosomes) called initial population,

computation is performed through the creation of an

initial population of individuals and modifying the

characteristics of a population of solutions

(individuals) over a large number of generations

followed by the evolution, a satisfactory solution is

found. This process is designed to produce successive

populations that mean the solutions from one

population are taken and used to form a new

satisfactory solution is

found. This process is designed to produce successive

populations that mean the solutions from one

population are taken and used to form a new

population. This is motivated by a hope, that the new

population will be better than the old one and so on

through generations.

1.2.1 Fitness Function

The fitness function is the function to be optimized.

For standard optimization algorithms, this is known as

the objective function.

1.2.2 Individuals

An individual is any point to which the

function can be applied. The value of the fitness of an

individual is its score; an individual is a single

solution. A chromosome is a set of parameters which

define a proposed solution to the problem that the

genetic algorithm is trying to solve. The chromosome

is often represented as a simple string.

1.2.3 Populations and Generations

A population is an array of individuals. At each

iteration, the genetic algorithm performs a series of

computations on the current population called parents

to produce a new population called children. Each

successive population is called a new generation.

Typically, the algorithm is more likely to select

parents that have better fitness values.

1.2.4 Encoding

A chromosome is subdivided into genes. A gene is the

GA representation of a single factor for a control

factor. The process of representing the solution in the

form of a string that conveys the necessary

information is called Encoding. Each gene controls a

particular characteristic of the individual; similarly,

each bit in the string represents a characteristic of the

solution. Encoding Methods are Binary Encoding,

Permutation Encoding (Real number encoding), and

Value Encoding.

For eg, the GA chromosome is represented as follows

2.1 Importance of GA

Genetic algorithm technique provides best solutions in

comparison with the other classic approach. Because

traditional techniques like Microsoft project and

Primavera scheduling software do not consider

resource constraints, actual cost and duration may

vary from the estimated one. An effective GA

representation and meaningful fitness evaluation are

the keys to the success in GA applications.

The method of solving resource constraint problem

using the software GeneHunter which uses GA

optimization technique is presented in this paper.

GeneHunter is a powerful software solution for

optimization problems which utilizes a state-of-the-art

genetic algorithm methodology. GeneHunter includes

an Excel Add-In which allows the user to run an

optimization problem from Microsoft Excel, as well as

a Dynamic Link Library of genetic algorithm

functions that may be called from programming

languages such as Microsoft Visual Basic or C.

3.0 PROBLEM FORMULATION

In order to solve a project scheduling problem

involving resource constraint, activities involved in a

real-time construction project has been considered.

The resource constraint in the form of number of

skilled and unskilled labourers available per day is

taken.

3.1.2 GeneHunter's Excel Interface

Creating a problem solving model in GeneHunter

requires that the relevant data is entered into a

Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and specify problem

solving parameters.

GeneHunter actually solves the problem by allowing

the less fit individuals in the population to die, and

selectively breeding the fit individuals. The process is

called selection, as in selection of the fittest. Two

individuals are taken and mated (crossover), the

offspring of the mated pair will receive some of the

characteristics of the mother and some of the father.In

nature, offspring often have some slight abnormalities,

called mutations. Usually, these mutations are

disabling and inhibit the ability of the offspring to

survive, but once in a while, they improve the fitness

of the individual. GeneHunter occasionally causes

mutations to occur. As GeneHunter mates fit

individuals and mutates some, the population

undergoes a generation change.

The population will then consist of offspring plus a

few of the older individuals which GeneHunter allows

to survive to the next generation. These are the most

fit in the population, and we will want to keep them

breeding. These most fit individuals are called elite

individuals. After dozens or even hundreds of

"generations," a population eventually emerges

wherein the individuals will solve the problem very

well. In fact, the fit individual will be an optimum or

close to optimum solution.

3.1.3 GeneHunter Dialog Screen

Fig.2 GeneHunter dialog Screen

The GeneHunter Dialog screen shown in Figure 2 to

identify the cells in the spreadsheet involved in

solving the problem. The list of constraints that should

be met by the solution can also be listed.

3.1.4 Fitness Function Cell

The Fitness Function box tells GeneHunter the

location of the cell which contains the formula that

measures GeneHunter's success in finding a solution

to the problem. The formula may be created using any

of the Excel functions that are available from the

Insert menu, such as average, sum, percentage, etc.,

Use of Excel macros or Visual Basic functions to

create a formula that allows solving very complex

problems. A neural net may even be used to model the

process if an appropriate mathematical formula is not

available.

3.1.5 Chromosomes

Chromosomes are the variables whose values are

adjusted in order to solve the problem. Their value is

related in some way to the fitness function.

GeneHunter uses two types of chromosomes to solve

the problems.

Continuous Chromosomes are used when the

adjustable cell can take on a value that may be within

a continuous range, such as the value 1.5 with the

range 0 to 2. Continuous chromosomes may also be

integers if the search space is to be restricted.

Enumerated Chromosomes are used when the

problem involves finding an optimal combination of

tasks, resources, duties, etc.

3.1.6 Constraints

The constraint portion of the GeneHunter dialog box

allows doing the following:

Limit the range of values that GeneHunter will search

for a solution, thus limiting the time taken to find an

optimal solution. This is called hard constraint.

Add restrictions or sub-goals to the original fitness

function. This is called a soft constraint. Solutions are

attempted to be found that meet the soft constraints, as

well as optimize the fitness function.

4.0 CASE STUDY

A real time project named “Aqualily” at Mahindra

world city with resources is chosen. Details of the

project are shown in Appendix A.

find the best schedule that gives minimum total

project duration (T),
