We study various two-agent scheduling problems on a single machine with equal job processing times. The equal processing time assumption enables us to design new polynomial-time or faster-than-known optimization algorithms for many problems. We prove, however, that there exists a subset of...

We study the problem of maximizing the weighted number of just-in-time (JIT) jobs in a flow-shop scheduling system under four different scenarios. The first scenario is where the flow-shop includes only two machines and all the jobs have the same gain for being completed JIT. For this scenario,...
