Abstract: Summary In R&D-departments typically multiple projects are processed simultaneously and compete for scarce resources. The situation is dynamic since new projects arrive continuously and stochastic in terms of interarrival times of projects as well as of the work content of the projects. The problem of scheduling projects in this context such that the weighted tardiness is minimized is particularly difficult and has not been covered much in the literature. The contribution of this paper is an assessment of priority rules originally proposed for the static and deterministic context in the dynamic and stochastic context.
