Abstract: A heuristic scheduling approach based on the characteristics of concurrent activities in product developing process is presented. To ensure the effective utilization of resources and the fluent delivery of information, some key factors such as order, information, resources, the implementing time and overlapping time of activities are taken into account adequately. The simulation example is a part of a certain product development process optimization, and the result shows the feasibility of the algorithm.
