Dears,

Currently, I am working on a problem which is close to the one in "scheduling_tutorial". To be more specific, I am referring to the "sched_calendar" case. In that case, there are constraints on starting certain tasks based on the  calendar days at which the workers are not available. So, the tasks are allocated to not start until a worker is available which made gaps in the final schedule. These gaps are causing the total time of building a house varies although the tasks are the same. In my case, I would like to start all tasks  in a series without any gaps. In other words, I need to allocate the tasks in a way that they start and end avoiding the break times. If this happens, the total length of building each house should be the same which is my target. I am attaching the sched_calendar.mod and sched_calendar.mod for your kind information. 

Best regards,

Mohamed

Hi

have you tried to change

minimize max (h in Houses) endOf(itvs[h]["moving"]);

into

minimize staticLex(max(h in Houses) (endOf(itvs[h]["moving"])-startOf(itvs[h]["masonry"])),max(h in Houses) endOf(itvs[h]["moving"]));

?

regards
