Worker Allocation in House Building Optimisation

As part of my thesis project, I was given a house building problem. There are 17 tasks in total and some tasks need to be completed before others. There are also 5 different worker types (builder, architect etc) and each task requires different types and amount of workers.

I am complete beginner in CPLEX OPL and using the tutorials provided, I was able to minimise the time taken to complete the 17 tasks. I used dvar intervals and endBeforeStart() for this purpose. However, I have spent countless hours trying to add workers to my problem with no success. The examples only include workers with names; but in my problem I have different types of workers which the tasks require, and each type has a different number of workers available.

How can I add workers to my problem and allocate them to each task in an optimal way?

I have answered this elsewhere:

You could have a look at the example at CPLEX_Studio128\opl\examples\opl\sched_cumul

And instead of one cumul

cumulFunction workersUsage =

you could use several (One per type of workers)
