Geometrical Method of Scheduling in Project Management

Consideration was given to scheduling by the criterion for uniform use of resources. It was assumed that each job is executed by a unit resource. Two types of inter-job dependences were studied: finish–finish (one job cannot be completed until the other is completed) and finish–start (one job cannot be started until the other is not completed). To solve the problem, a geometrical method reducing solution to determining the shortest trajectory in a domain constructed from the network graph was proposed.
