Abstract
In this paper, an analysis of multiple projects-multiple resources-constrained scheduling problems is presented. A multi-objective management perspective has been used to arrive at schedules for the best utilization of scarce resources. The analysis is accomplished by means of two familiar techniques such as integer goal programming and simulation. Both the techniques are compared by studying some real-life construction projects. Multiple performance measures are used to establish the validity of each technique and also to set directions for project managers to select situation-based technique.Keywords
