This paper describes an algorithm that will yield an optimum sequence for n jobs requiring processing through M machines when no passing is allowed. Theoretical development utilizing combinatorial analysis precedes the algorithm and an example problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
