'producer_consumer' constraints: solving a resource-constrained project scheduling problem

Description
So-called 'producer_consumer' relations combine tasks that produce or consume quantities of the same non-renewable resource. Such problems may be modeled in two ways, namely
  • using 'producer_consumer' constraints (producer_consumer_alt.mos), or
  • using 'task' and 'resource' model objects that are configured correspondingly (producer_consumer.mos)
Further explanation of this example: 'Xpress Kalis Mosel Reference Manual'
