Abstract: Selecting an appropriate project portfolio and starting work at the right time are two key decision-making problems in project and engineering management. Project portfolio selection (PPS) and scheduling become complicated when random attribute values and unknown attribute weights are simultaneously considered. To manage this complex decision-making problem, a stochastic multi-attribute acceptability analysis (SMAA)-based approach is proposed to formulate multi-attribute PPS and scheduling problem with random attribute values and unknown attribute weights. Four heuristic algorithms, namely, SMAA-based particle swarm optimisation, SMAA-based genetic algorithm, SMAA-based simulated annealing algorithm, and SMAA-based teaching–learning-based optimisation, have been developed to solve this problem. The performance of the four algorithms is also evaluated on four data sets.
