Hello,

I couldnt formulize the precedence relation above in my constraints. Could anyone help me with that? I tried to use the Activities for the tasks but didnt know how to use them with constraints

Thanks in advance

If you have start and end time for each activity then you could add a constraint for each precedence relationship. E.g. StartTime(B) >= EndTime(A). Could it work?

Hi @Melike I wonder, did that help you? Or did you find another way?

Hello, i found another way to make it because i wanted to avoid giving start times and end times.

But it was not really as good as i wanted because i wanted to use the restrictionns afterwards to make the precedence relations so that it is globally used in my model

Thanks  alot anyway

Hello @Melike, seems you considered using Constraint Programming for this. Are you aware that @Chris Kuip did a few webinars on this? One that has a scheduling app example can be found at the link below and could be helpful for you.
