Summary:

The objective of this project is to identify the schedule that minimizes the amount of time to complete a specific number jobs at Tinker Air Force Base. Each job needs to go through a specific sequence of operations:

– Multi-resource: each operation requires multiple resources available at the same time.

– Resource flexibility: for each operation, there may exist several alternatives for resource combinations.
