Abstract

The job insertion problem in multi-stage scheduling is: given a schedule for n jobs and an additional job, find a feasible insertion of the additional job into the schedule that minimizes the resulting makespan. We prove that finding the optimal job insertion is NP-hard for flow shops and open shops.
