Resource Investment Problem With Discounted Cash Flows

A resource investment problem is a project-scheduling problem in which theavailability levels of the resources are considered as decision variables and the goal is tofind a schedule, and resource requirement levels, such that some objective functionoptimizes, in this paper, we consider a resource investment problem in which the goal is tomaximize the net present value of the project cash flows. we call this problem as resourceinvestment problem with discounted cash flows (ripdcf) and we develop a heuristicmethod to solve it. results of several numerical examples show that the proposed methodperforms relatively well.
