Abstract
This research proposes an innovative critical chain method (ICCM) for project planning and control under resource constraints and uncertainty. An improved genetic algorithm is developed to identify the critical chain and to obtain the optimal start time of each activity under the most optimistic duration of each activity and resource constraints. Furthermore, a feeding buffer is added in an insert point in order to deal with uncertainties. The benefits of applying this ICCM are demonstrated in an example project.
