Abstract

We consider the problem of scheduling customer orders, each consisting of one or more individual jobs, on a set of parallel processors with the objective of minimizing average order completion time. We provide simple intuitive heuristics to guide managers in this environment and introduce lower bounds that show that these heuristics are effective for a wide variety of problems. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
