4. 12-4 Resource Leveling (Smoothing) A multivariate, combinatorial problem Objectives To determine the resource requirements so that they will be available at the right time To allow each activity to be scheduled with the smoothest possible transition across resource usage levels Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

5. 12-5 Prioritization Rules for Leveling  Smallest amount of slack  Smallest duration  Lowest ID number (FCFS)  Greatest number of successor tasks  Requiring the most resources Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
