Abstract: Abstract Project schedules, which are the basic components of project plans, specify when activities are to be performed and constitute the basis for allocating the resources to activities. In this chapter we use mathematical modeling to formulate and solve scheduling problems for single and multiple project settings. In this framework, we relax the resource constraints, and assume all problem parameters are known with certainty. To introduce the basic deterministic scheduling models we discuss the critical path method, defining the different types of slacks presenting algorithms to calculate them. Mathematical models to optimize financial objectives are presented. Finally, a case study is given where a work breakdown structure is created, and a baseline schedule is constructed for a real-life problem.
