Abstract
Resource-constrained, multi-period scheduling model for asset investment planning. In an embodiment, asset-related tasks for physical equipment are received, along with a time window. Each of the asset-related tasks is associated with parameter values for each time period within the time window. A resource-constrained project scheduling model is executed to identify an optimal portfolio of the asset-related tasks that satisfies a set of constraints, according to an objective, based on the parameter values for the asset-related tasks. In the optimal portfolio, each asset-related task is assigned to a time span comprising one or more time periods in the time window. The optimal portfolio may then be used to schedule the asset-related tasks in the optimal portfolio, in order to facilitate repair, maintenance, and capital tasks, for example, by automatically dispatching work orders or resources, automatically configuring a state of the physical equipment, informing an asset management system, and/or the like.
