Abstract: Typical organizations in a company are usually engaged in more than one project running in parallel. In such a case, human and non-human resources (i.e., workers and development environments) are inevitably shared by those projects to carry out respective tasks. When a resource is shared among two or more projects and if a change is requested for such a resource by one of the projects, there may be a situation in which the project cannot change its assigned resource or adjust its schedule since other processes are competing for the same resource at the same time. The authors call such a process a bottleneck process. If a delay spreads to one of the bottleneck processes, the project cannot be completed by its due date because it is not possible to adjust its schedule or to change the resource. It is necessary to take measures to prevent a process delay from spreading to bottleneck processes. This paper proposes a method to detect bottleneck processes automatically a!
nd discusses the effectiveness of the method by simulating the impacts (perturbation) generated by delays of preceding processes using Perturbation-based Repercussion Analysis.
