Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for managing a pull-schedule. The system includes a schedule for completing at least one milestone, the schedule comprising an active schedule portion and a pull-schedule portion and one or more tickets that can be represented in the active schedule portion and/or the pull schedule portion, each ticket comprising a task to be completed to reach the at least one milestone. A scheduling service includes a pull column partitioning engine to scan the pull-schedule portion to define one or more columns with boundaries at the vertical positions that do not overlap with any tickets, a pull column assigning engine to assign the one or more tickets to a column and assign planned start and finish dates to the tickets, and a pull column activation engine to move a collection of a tickets contained in a pull column to the active schedule portion.

Abstract: A simulation system and technique for simulating a project is described. The simulation system includes a work detail database having stored therein a plurality of attributes for the project, and a schedule generator coupled to receive information from the work detail database and having a push processor and a pull processor coupled thereto. The push and pull processors utilize different techniques/methodologies to establish dates and activities in a schedule produced by the schedule generator.

Abstract: A system and method for simulating resource allocation, where the allocation strategies which can be simulated include those of prior art but also include a large class of important allocation strategies that are not possible or not easy to simulate using prior art techniques and systems is described. A location limiting allocation strategy is also described. This strategy supports resource capacity schedules and request priorities as supported by prior art, but simultaneously supports the enforcement of allocation limits applied to a property expressed in the allocation request, namely the location of the work to be performed, or a location, resource pair to perform the work.
