    The problem considered is one of production scheduling of lots of unit- time operations on identical machines. Operations are precedence related and form a tree. For each operation two parameters are specified: the first giving the required number of operations (units of a given product) to be made and the second defining for each arc (i,j) the number of units of product i used to produce a unit of product j. The objective is to find a schedule of minimum length. A polynomial-time algorithm based on Hu's algorithm for scheduling trees is given.
