Abstract: In this paper we propose an adaptive model for multi-mode project scheduling under uncertainty. We assume that there is a due date for concluding the project and a tardiness penalty for failing to meet this due date, and that several distinct modes may be used to undertake each activity. We define scheduling policies based on a set of thresholds. The starting time of the activity is compared with those thresholds in order to define the execution mode.
