Abstract
This paper presents the engagement of resources of the type of workers and equipment on the project with their adopted normal working hours and the maximum allowed overtime work. At the same time, the two criteria, the duration and costs of the project are minimised, by introducing the overtime work of these resources and by importing their available quantities. It is noted that overtime work costs are generally higher than normal work hours and the required reduction in the duration of the project should be achieved with minimum additional costs. The problem has the final number of Pareto-optimal solutions. An illustrative example of a hypothetical project is solved using an interactive “analytic - project management software” approach.
