This example is organized around the problem of building a house--its foundation, masonry, roofing, painting, and so forth--with the obvious goal of scheduling the tasks to finish the entire house as quickly as possible. Some activities must necessarily take place before others, and that fact is expressed through precedence constraints. All activities require one worker, a unary resource, and that fact is expressed through resource constraints.
The house construction activities and their preceding activities are shown in Table 12.1
This is the same example presented in Adding Resources and Resource Constraints Chapter 3. The problem is fully described and modeled there, so let's discuss the different solution technique used here.
