    This paper deals with the problem of batching jobs which must be processed on a single machine. In the case the jobs are all of one type and the objective is to minimize the sum of completion times, it is shown that the greedy algorithm solves this problem. In the case of various job types, a heuristic is given. The heuristic has provided very good results on randomly generated examples.
