Describe the Problem--Example 6

This example presents a slightly different problem. In it we have four workers who are required to build five houses. Each of the workers has different abilities: one performs masonry, the second performs plumbing, the third performs the carpentry, ceiling, roofing, windows, and facade activities, and the final worker performs painting, garden, and moving activities. The workers do not work on weekends (that is, work is suspended).

The five houses have the three designs, and the corresponding activity durations, shown in Table 5.1 in Adding Transition Times. Three of the activities, roofing, painting, and moving, cannot be suspended by breaks. Furthermore, there are time constraints on the third and fourth houses that state that work on those houses cannot be started before day 7 and must be finished by day 79.

Once again, our objective is to minimize the makespan of the problem.
