Abstract

The paper considers the job shop scheduling problem to minimize the makespan. It is assumed that each job consists of at most two operations, one of which is to be processed on one of m⩾2 machines, while the other operation must be performed on a single bottleneck machine, the same for all jobs. For this strongly NP-hard problem we present two heuristics with improved worst-case performance. One of them guarantees a worst-case performance ratio of 3/2. The other algorithm creates a schedule with the makespan that exceeds the largest machine workload by at most the length of the largest operation.
