A constraint programming approach for scheduling repetitive projects with atypical activities considering soft logic

Repetitive projects are characterized by a set of activities that need to be repeated in several units. Optimizing the work sequence between each activity in different units is essential to achieve an effective schedule in terms of time and cost. Most previous studies, however, assumed that an activity can only be executed sequentially from the first unit to the last unit. As such, this paper develops a flexible repetitive scheduling model by...
