• We consider the three-machine proportionate open shop and mixed shop makespan problems.
• We derive sufficient conditions to solve the problems in polynomial time.
• We derive algorithms with worst-case bounds for the problems.
• We extend our open shop results to the unequal speed case.
We first consider the ordinary NP-hard three-machine proportionate open shop minimum makespan O3|prpt|Cmax problem and show that it is solvable in O(nlog n) time when certain conditions on the total machine load are met. When these conditions are not met, we derive an approximate solution by implementing the optimal solution for the O3|prpt|Cmax problem when the two longest jobs are of equal length. In that case, both absolute and ratio worst-case bounds are derived. We also consider the more general mixed shop problem M3|prpt|Cmax in which a given job subset must be processed as in a flow shop while the remaining jobs can be processed as in the O3|prpt|Cmax problem. We show that our open shop solution techniques can be implemented to derive exact and approximate solutions for the M3|prpt|Cmax problem. Finally, we discuss the applicability of our open shop results to the proportionate open shop problem with unequal machine speeds.
