Abstract—
In projects, specific times are considered for controlling, monitoring, and measuring the development. In monitoring day, the delay may exist. Contractor should pay definite money for delay punishment at the end of project. Also contractor can hire new workers and can use extra equipment to reduce the duration time of project. Time-cost trade off analysis is considered to make balance between paying money for increasing resources and paying money for delay punishment to minimize the cost. Genetic algorithm and Linear programming are used to show the efficiency of time-cost trade off analysis in a case study. Both algorithms provide suitable solutions. Nevertheless, the Linear programming solution is better than that of Genetic algorithm.
