Research Details:
The development and management of an effective R&D project portfolio is one of the most important problems for project based companies or organisations. Enterprises such as high technology companies, pharmaceutical industries, research institutes, automobile and aerospace industries have usually many projects to select from, but due to limited availability of the resources, only few projects can be supported. By the term resource we mean funds, manpower, first materials, equipment, time and everything else that could be characterised as input for a research and development project. The selection of the optimal R&D portfolio has a huge impact on the future success of the entire organisation. The fact that projects may involve high risks and uncertainties necessitates the need for models and techniques to dynamically allocate the enterprise's resources to the available projects, and at the same time, take the stochastic nature of the problem environment into account.
