Priority algorithms for the problem of financial optimisation of a multi-stage project

The article presents the problem of the financial optimisation of a multi-stage project from the contractor's perspective, where customer's payments are analysed as a cash inflow (contractor's revenues) after completing contractual stages and contractor's expenses incurred for the activities executed. In order to solve the problem, priority algorithms are proposed: single-pass and multi-pass ones, using different priority rules and tech-niques for generating solutions dedicated to the investigated optimisation model. The article presents a comparison of the effectiveness of individual algorithms in the case of adequately prepared test problems.
