Polynomial time approximation schemes for general multiprocessor job shop scheduling

We study preemptive and non-preemptive versions of the general multiprocessor job shop scheduling problem: Given a set of n tasks each consisting of at most μ ordered operations that can be processed on different (possibly all) subsets of m machines with different processing times, compute a schedul...

Abstract We study preemptive and non-preemptive versions of the general multiprocessor job shop scheduling problem: Given a set of n tasks each consisting of at most μ ordered operations that can be processed on different (possibly all) subsets of m machines with different processing times, compute a schedule (preemptive or non-preemptive, depending on the model) with minimum makespan where operations belonging to the same task have to be scheduled according to the specified order. We propose algorithms for both preemptive and non-preemptive variants of this problem that compute approximate solutions of any positive ϵ accuracy and run in O( n) time for any fixed values of m, μ, and  ϵ. These results include (as special cases) many recent developments on polynomial time approximation schemes for scheduling jobs on unrelated machines, multiprocessor tasks, and classical open, flow and job shops.
