IBM ILOG Scheduler User's Manual > Getting Started with Scheduler > Adding Breaks > Define the Problem, Design a Model

In order to model the weekend breaks, we need to define a list of breaks, and add those breaks to our resources.

There are four workers in the problem, but since their abilities are not equal they cannot be defined as a discrete resource. Since each worker can only perform one activity at a time, the workers must be defined as unary resources.

We also need to define the activities that can and cannot be suspended by breaks.

As in Example 5 in Adding Transition Times, we define a function for building the different houses and use a ranking goal in our search for a solution.
