## 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 polic

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
We examine the problem of scheduling n jobs with a common due date on a single machine. The processing time ofeach job is a random variable, which follows an arbitrary distribution with a known mean and a known variance. The machine is not reliable; it is subject to stochastic breakdowns. The objec
We study the problem of minimizing the weighted number of late jobs to be scheduled on a single machine when processing times are equal. In this paper, we show that this problem, as well as its preemptive variant, are strongly polynomial. When preemption is not allowed ( 1"p H "p, r H " w H ; H ), t
