Simulation-based approach for Multiproject Scheduling based on composite priority rules
Pablo Alvarez-Campana, Felix Villafanez, Fernando Acebes +1
This paper presents a simulation approach to enhance the performance of heuristics for multi-project scheduling. Unlike other heuristics available in the literature that use only o…
Impact of aleatoric, stochastic and epistemic uncertainties on project cost contingency reserves
David Curto, Fernando Acebes, Jose M Gonzalez-Varona +1
In construction projects, contingency reserves have traditionally been estimated based on a percentage of the total project cost, which is arbitrary and, thus, unreliable in practi…
Stochastic Earned Value Analysis using Monte Carlo Simulation and Statistical Learning Techniques
Fernando Acebes, M Pereda, David Poza +2
The aim of this paper is to describe a new an integrated methodology for project control under uncertainty. This proposal is based on Earned Value Methodology and risk analysis and…
Production planning in 3DPrinting factories
Juan De Anton, Juan J Senovilla, Jose M Gonzalez-Varona +1
Production planning in 3D printing factories brings new challenges among which the scheduling of parts to be produced stands out. A main issue is to increase the efficiency of the…

Jose M Gonzalez-Varona, Adolfo Lopez-Paredes, David Poza +1
Purpose: The new competitive environment characterized by innovation and constant change is forcing a new organizational behavior. This requires a digital transformation of SMEs ba…
Stochastic Earned Duration Analysis for Project Schedule Management
Fernando Acebes, David Poza, Jose Manuel Gonzalez-Varona +1
Earned duration management (EDM) is a methodology for project schedule management (PSM) that can be considered an alternative to earned value management (EVM). EDM provides an esti…
