jobt.gms : On-the-Job Training

Description

An optimal schedule for hiring, firing, producing and storing of a
commodity is desired for the completion of a large delivery contract.
This formulation is slightly different from the one in the book. The
period number 6 has been eliminated and the salary on firing has
been added to the 5th period (all workers are fired by the end of
period 5). The implicit relationship w("5") = f("6") holds.
