Abstract

This paper addresses generating reference operation that a manager should carry out for improving a result of a certain project based on the project principle. The project principle is a group of rules to indicate what to do in situations of a project, and also necessary to generate the reference operation. First, the proposed method generates the project principle from optimal operations derived by reinforcement learning on automatically generated operations. And, the reference operation is generated by applying the project principle to a certain project model. Experimental results show that the proposed method can automatically generate the reference operation as well as manual generation.
