How are tasks prioritized during execution in Aurora-CCPM?
Aurora uses standard buffering incursion from the Theory of Constraints Critical Chain to determine task prioritization. Drawing on the concept of workability, a part of the standard critical chain theory, Aurora filters by whether a task is actually workable. Additionally, Aurora takes into account task priorities during initial planning of the critical chain schedules. They are not used extensively during execution, since buffer incursion will fully determine execution time rankings under normal circumstances; however, if two tasks have the exact same ranking due to buffer incursion the task priority can be used to break this tie.
