Adding Transition Times

Given an activity A1 that precedes an activity A2, the transition time between A1 and A2 is an amount of time that must elapse between the end of A1 and the beginning of A2.

The example in this chapter shows how to model a problem that involves transition times between activities. The transition time represents a required delay between tasks; for example, the time required to clean up, to set up a piece of equipment, or time spent waiting for paint to dry or concrete to set.
