Describe the Problem--Example 9

In this example we again have four workers who are required to build five houses. These workers are specialized just like those in Example 6.

The five houses have the three designs, and the corresponding activity durations, shown in Table 5.1 in Adding Transition Times. However, in this problem, each activity costs $1,000 per day. Each activity also produces a profit of $1,000 when it is completed.

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