Recently, Bianco and Caramia (Flex Serv Manuf J 25(1–2), 6–24, 2013) proposed a new model for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem. Despite its potential, the presentation of the mixed-integer programming model contains some ambiguity which may create misunderstanding in the implementation phase. Here, we clarify the definitions of the decision variables and illustrate their corresponding values using a numerical example. Furthermore, we propose a different interpretation of two decision variables which gives rise to an alternative model formulation also presented using the same numerical example.

Abstract
Recently, Bianco and Caramia (Flex Serv Manuf J 25(1–2), 6–24, 2013) proposed a new model for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem. Despite its potential, the presentation of the mixed-integer programming model contains some ambiguity which may create misunderstanding in the implementation phase. Here, we clarify the definitions of the decision variables and illustrate their corresponding values using a numerical example. Furthermore, we propose a different interpretation of two decision variables which gives rise to an alternative model formulation also presented using the same numerical example.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
