关键链项目调度方法研究评述

客观地评述了关键链方法的优缺点。首先，简要阐述了关键链与关键路径法/计划评审技术及资源约束型项目调度问题的异同点；然后，从关键链调度优化模型、缓冲机制和关键链的应用3方面梳理了已有的研究成果，相应地，从两个方面总结出目前关键链方法中的欠缺；最后，从多目标优化、动态关键链、与鲁棒性结合和与其他理论融合4个角度指出了关键链方法将来的研究趋势。评述工作将会对关键链的理论研究和实践应用提供一些思维启发。

Review of critical chain project scheduling method

The purpose of this paper is to objectively review the merits and the pitfalls of the critical chain(CC) method.
Firstly, the differences and the correlations between the CC and the existing methods for the project scheduling are analyzed
briefly, such as the classical critical path method/program evaluation and review technique(CPM/PERT) and the resourceconstrained
project scheduling problem(RCPSP). Secondly, the achievements in the CC are classified and commented
based on three aspects: the optimization model, the buffer mechanism and the application of the CC. Accordingly, two
shortcomings of the CC are also probed. Finally, the four further extensions are presented as the trends of the CC: the multiobjective
optimization, the dynamic CC, the integration with the robustness, and the mergence with other theories of project
managements. The review will shed some new illuminations on the future CC for researchers and practitioners.
