Zusammenfassung

Der Beitrag entwickelt ein Modell zur simultanen Projektportfolio- und Multiprojektplanung in der Finanzdienstleistungsbranche. Das Modell basiert auf einem mehrperiodigen Knapsack-Problem, bei dem für jedes Projekt (Ablauf-) Varianten mit einem einfachen und den Anforderungen der betrieblichen Praxis genügenden Verfahren erzeugt werden. Die prototypische Implementierung des Modells in einem Entscheidungsunterstützungssystem sowie dessen Anwendung in der betrieblichen Praxis eines international tätigen Finanzdienstleistungsunternehmens werden dargestellt.

Summary

This paper presents a new model for simultaneous project selection and scheduling. The model is based on a multi-period Knapsack problem. For each project different schedules are generated with a method which due to its ease meets the requirements of operational applications. We report on the implementation of the model and its application for a financial service provider.
