Completing a project on planned time heavily depends on the activity durations and resources, which should be determined as accurately and precisely as possible. A Hybrid parallel kangaroo algorithm (HPKA) is developed to cope with this problem and prepare more realistic project schedules that could be executed in time with the minimum risk of being late. The objective is to find a schedule that minimizes schedule risk and maximizes the minimum satisfaction degrees of all activities. The proposed hybrid algorithm is tested with the benchmark problems from the literature. The proposed HPKA is then used to solve a disc mower manufacturing project scheduling problem of a real-world company that manufactures agricultural machinery. The results indicate that the proposed hybrid algorithm can achieve good results for these problems. ©2022 Old City Publishing, Inc.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessdisc mower manufacturing projectfuzzy numbershybrid parallel kangaroo algorithmminimum satisfaction valuesproject delay riskResource-constrained project schedulingAgricultural robotsBenchmarkingConstrained optimizationFuzzy rulesActivity durationDisk mower manufacturing projectFuzzy numbersHybrid algorithmsHybrid parallel kangaroo algorithmManufacturing projectsMinimum satisfaction valueProject delay riskProject delaysResource constrained project schedulingLawn mowersArticle2-s2.0-85203118948
