Abstract: As the disruption management simulation for multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem received little concern, a pretty reasonable disruption management simulation process was designed. After analyzing the functional weakness of MS Project, disruption management simulation for multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem was implemented by optimized computation of CPLEX Studio IDE. According to examples from Project Scheduling Problem Library, the cases of a single disruption in a single moment and multiple disruptions in multiple moments were simulated as well as analyzed. The results show that the resource conflicts play an important role on time limit of whole project and simulation process designed is effective to some extent. The designed simulation process can provide reference for the work of management personnel, such as planning, decision-making and so on, in a project of armament.
