Abstract The article presents the resource-constrained project scheduling problem with the maximisation of discounted cash flows from the contractor’s perspective: with cash outflows related to starting individual activities and with cash inflows for completing project stages (milestones). The authors propose algorithms for improving a forward active schedule by iterative one-unit right shifts of activities, taking into account different resource flow networks. To illustrate the algorithms and problem, a numerical example is presented. Finally, the algorithms are tested using standard test problems with additionally defined cash flows and contractual milestones.
