“…Determine the duration of activities, 2. demonstrating the size of the project buffer and feeding buffers, And 3. a simulation of the proposed algorithm. The findings demonstrated that the appropriate number of buffers can be assigned for projects using the proposed algorithm [8]. In another research, Zohrehvandi et al proposed a project buffer and resource management (PBRM) algorithm to optimize project resources and the size of the project buffer, and control of consumption of the project buffer in a renewable project to achieve a more realistic project duration and project completion time.…”

When the number of projects in a company increases, it becomes very important to choose the right strategy to supply resources and raw materials in profit and loss and finish the work according to the schedule. This study presents a new mathematical model using the fractal method to optimize the resource planning system in project-oriented construction and industrial companies, and the results are analyzed. In the model proposed in this research, a fuzzy method and an overlapping method are used. Using the method of Pentagonal fuzzy numbers in determining the appropriate number of resources for project activities, as well as using a method of overlapping activities to determine the appropriate time of overlapping activities will lead to optimal use of project resources. This article aims to introduce a fuzzy overlapping project resource optimization (FOPRO) model in project-oriented construction and industrial companies by providing a fractal framework to minimize resource costs and the smooth flow of materials between projects to meet the existing demand. Assuming three levels of headquarters, regions, and projects, each of them in the collection is a self-similar structure defined as a fractal. The study was carried out in one of the contracting companies in the industrial and construction fields, which operates as a project-oriented project in different regions of the country. To evaluate the proposed model, the obtained results were compared with the results of previous models. The results showed that the model presented in this research was able to create optimization in terms of sending machines, material and manpower between different centers.

“…The idea of adding a time margin to the minimal project completion time as a time buffer and using it in case of delayed occurrences was introduced by Zohrehvandi et al [35]. Other research conducted by Zohrehvandi et al in the field of modeling and optimization in scheduling and project buffer management could refer to these cases [36][37][38][39].…”

In the past few years, cloud-based additive manufacturing has shown its application and potential in industries. For this reason, when the demand for cloud-based additive products increases, efficient scheduling of related tasks becomes more important to achieve optimized duration. This research proposes a Heuristic Scheduling Algorithm (HSA) for use in Cloud-Based Additive Manufacturing (CBAM) with an approach to Critical Chain Buffer Management (CC/BM). This research aims to schedule and optimize the time in cloud-based additive manufacturing, in addition to the parts production process, it also includes the steps of receiving online orders and informing the manufacturing unit and sending them to the customer. The HSA proposed in this research consists of three phases 1- Buffer sizing, 2- Additive manufacturing and logistics scheduling, and 3- Buffer controlling. To evaluate, the performance of the algorithm is simulated. The finding shows that the proposed HAS can effectively solve the CBAM scheduling problem.
