Abstract: Abstract In projects with alternative modalities, the jobs that actually have to be implemented are not known beforehand, i.e. the project structure is unknown. However, established formulations of the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) assume the project structure to be given in advance. In this paper, the RCPSP is extended by a model-endogenous decision on the project structure in order to include those alternative modalities. The requirements on the project structure decision problem are explained and it is shown that this problem occurs, e.g., with scheduling the turnaround at airports. As a solution approach aspects of a genetic algorithm are presented.
