Example: Project Scheduling

Consider a construction company building a 250-unit apartment complex. The project consists of hundreds of activities involving excavating, framing, wiring, plastering, painting, landscaping, and more. Some of the activities must be done sequentially and others can be done simultaneously. Also, some of the activities can be completed faster than normal by purchasing additional resources (workers, equipment, etc.).

What is the best schedule for the activities and for which activities should additional resources be purchased?
