Abstract :
With the developing of technology and economic of society, skilled workforce has been playing as the key role through the trend of prosperity. Project scheduling problems with multi-skilled workforce constraints (PSPMSWC) have become a research hotpot in the field of human resource allocation and project scheduling. Following the description and model of the PSPMSWC, a hybrid Benders decomposition (HBD) algorithm is presented in detail as well as the scheme of total solving process with heuristic inferring. After the programming and solving operation, results are gathered and analyzed afterward with conclusion at last.
