3. MULTIPLE
PROJECTS
Handling several projects at once means more
than dealing with just multiple schedules, it
involves multiple risks, multiple stakeholders and
multiple functional managers who allocate
resources

5. PROJECT DEPENDENCE
• Mutually Exclusive
• Negatively Dependent
• Positively Dependent
5
Projects A and B are economically dependent if the acceptance
or rejection of one changes the cash flow stream or affects the
acceptance or rejection of the other
10. CONFLICT OF RANKING
10
Performance ranking tends to differ from one criterion to another
in a given set of projects

16. A Mathematical
Programming Model Is
Formulated In Terms Of
Two Broad Categories
Of Equations
1. The objective function
(goal or objective)
2. The constraint equation
(restrictions )
19. ASSUMPTIONS
19
• The objectives function and the constraint equations are
linear.
• The objective function is unidimensional.
• The decision variables are considered to be continuous.
• Resources are homogeneous.
22. INTEGER LINEAR PROGRAMMING MODEL
CAPITAL BUDGETING
Integer Linear programming, in which the objective function and
the constraints are linear
Integer linear programming model for capital budgeting

24. “The following kinds of project interdependencies are
incorporated in the integer linear programming model
24
25. “THE PRINCIPAL STRENGTHS OF THE INTEGER
PROGRAMMING MODEL, CLEARLY DEMONSTRATED
ABOVE , ARE:
1. It overcomes the problem of capital projects
which besets the linear programming model.
2. It is capable of handling virtually any kind of
project interdependency.
