Abstract

Each of n jobs must be run first on machine I and then on machine I. Running times for each job on each machine are given. Also specified are arbitrary time lags which prescribe that a job may not be started (completed) on machine II until at least a certain time has elapsed since starting (completing) the job on machine I. A rule is given for determining the sequence in which jobs are to be run on the machines--using the same sequence for both machines--in order to minimize the time between the start of production of the first job on machine I and the completion of production of the last job on machine II.
