Abstract

We consider a two-machine open shop problem in which the job processing times are controllable and can be compressed while incurring additional costs. We show that the problem of minimizing a linear compression cost function for a given upper bound on the makespan can be solved in O (n) time. For the bicriteria problem of minimizing the makespan and compression cost, we propose an O (n log n) algorithm that finds all breakpoints of the efficient frontier.
