Abstract: Abstract Schedule generation schemes are the backbone of heuristics to solve project scheduling problems. In this chapter we introduce the two schedule generation schemes for the classical resource constrained project scheduling problem, the serial and the parallel schedule generation scheme. We characterize them according to the types of schedule they generate and discuss variants of the schedule generation schemes in order to deal with extensions such as general precedence constraints and stochastic activity durations.
