Scheduling ordered open shops

From MaRDI portal





This paper examines special cases of the open shop problem in an attempt to define the boundary between easy and apparently hard, i.e. NP- complete, problems. The top result is: the minimizing makespan in an ordered three-machine open shop is NP-complete. This implies that many other open shop problems are also NP-complete. However, the authors show that a slight change in the assumptions of the problem may render a difficult problem easy to solve.
