We develop a genetic algorithm for the resource leveling problem in project scheduling based on the problem characteristics and describe the code scheme, genetic operator and algorithm structure. By computational study for a standard set of project instances which has been widely used, we show that the genetic algorithm is effective for the resource leveling problem.
