    The document discusses resource smoothing in project scheduling. Resource smoothing aims to minimize peak resource requirements and smooth out variation in resource needs between time periods, without changing the overall project completion time. The document provides an example project schedule and seeks to obtain a smoothed schedule with a minimized peak workforce requirement. It then shows the original schedule and two iterations of smoothed schedules with decreasing peak workforce levels.

    PROJECT SCHEDULING WITH CONSTRAINED RESOURCES


    RESOURCE SMOOTHING
    21ME490 – PROJECT MANAGEMENT

    OBJECTIVE

     To minimize peak requirement and smooth out period


    to period variation without altering the normal project
    completion time

    1
    30-03-2023

    RESOURCE SMOOTHING VS. RESOURCE LEVELING

     Resource smoothing is used when the time constraint takes


    priority – Time constrained scheduling
     The objective is to complete the work by the required date
    while avoiding peaks and troughs of resource demand.
     Resource levelling is used when limits on the availability of
    resources are paramount.

    PROBLEM 1

     The schedule of the project is given in table. Obtain a schedule which will minimize
    the peak man-power requirement and also smooth out period to period variation of
    manpower requirement
