That is not the case. Workcenters have different schedules. Some are open when others are closed. Can you tell me more about pre-emptive scheduling and what that involves? How would you approach fixing this issue?
Pre-emptive scheduling refers to some methods/algorithms in the Operations Research (OR). The OR classifies scheduling problems in many ways, one of which is the presence of preemption (see e.g. http://www.mathematik.uni-osnabrueck.de/research/OR/class).
It seems to me that you are taking a very unlucky approach: let's do something easy, and let's add some cool features once we've got it working. This does not work here - to solve your problem, you probably need to re-design your solver from the scratch. I suggest that you take all requirements of your problem and look for a complete solution (maybe even a compromise solution, not satisfying all your original requirements). Doing a proper analysis before you start coding is a good practice.
All the best, Filip _________________________________________________________________________________ mozart-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.mozart-oz.org/mailman/listinfo/mozart-users
