Definição do problema de controle e gestão temporal de projetos em um setor de engenharia: uma aplicação de pesquisa operacional

Abstract

This paper approaches the project time management for a product development engineering department from an operation's research point of view. Given a set of project (a project portfolio) and a set of resources to execute them, will the projects have a high chance of being done before the deadline? Otherwise, what will be the estimate delay, and in which projects? Even though this paper does not attempt to model the problem, it analyses and explains the definition of the problem and possible hipothesis that may be assumed, so that future researches may use it to take the next step of creating models.
