摘要:
A frequent goal in scheduling projects and production operations is determining the financial impact of project duration or production lead time. This paper considers net project value effects that increase proportionally to time in excess of a deadline. New bounds on the expected value of these tardiness costs are given. The bounds provide robust measurements without requiring extensive assumptions about activity distributions.
