That is not the case. Workcenters have different schedules. Some are open when others are closed. Can you tell me more about pre-emptive scheduling and what that involves? How would you approach fixing this issue?
Pre-emptive scheduling is scheduling where a task is not atomic ; you can stop it in the middle, do something else then restart it (at not additional cost). It is easier than non pre-emptive scheduling.
If you want to deal seriously with scheduling and constraints I suggest you have a look at the work of Philippe Baptiste http://www.lix.polytechnique.fr/~baptiste/ and more specifically his book "Constraint based scheduling" (with C. Le Pape and W. Nuijten)
