We study the minimum total weighted completion time problem on identical machines. We analyze a simple local search heuristic, moving jobs from one machine to another. The local optima can be shown to be approximately optimal with approximation ratio 3 2 . In a special case, the approximation ratio
This paper analyzes the Smith-heuristic for the single-machine scheduling problem where the objective is to minimize the total weighted completion time subject to the constraint that the tardiness for any job does not exceed a prespecified maximum allowable tardiness. We identify several cases of th
