142 different networks were created in Primavera P6 v16.1 to evaluate and classify the performance of Resource Constrained Scheduling (RCS) heuristics. The networks were created based on topological and resource parameters.
The 142 generated networks were limited in size to between 30 and 90 activities. The complexity of the networks (NC) ranges from 1.40 to 1.65 with an average value of 1.50 (three immediate successors per activity). The 142 networks have single or multiple resource requirements with a maximum of three types of resources per project. All resource types are subjected to fixed resource availabilities. The networks have a Resource Factor of 0.25 and 0.75. The Resource Utilization (RU) ranges between 0.12-1.34. All networks have in common a Serial/parallel Indicator (I2) = 0.65 and a Resource Strength Factor (RS) = 0.25
