Abstract
Consider two machines, labeled 1 and 2. A set of tasks has to be processed first on machine 1 and after that on machine 2. A second set of tasks has to be processed first on machine 2 and after that on machine 1. All the processing times are exponentially distributed. We present a policy which minimizes the expected completion time of all tasks.

The paper considers the open shop scheduling problem to minimize the makespan, provided that one of the machines has to process the jobs according to a given sequence. We show that in the preemptive case the problem is polynomially solvable for an arbitrary number of machines. If preemption is not a
