Table:JSSP (n x m) Modified Johnson's Rule

If any one of the conditions below:

· Min (Ti1) ≥ Max (Tik)

· Min (Tim) ≥ Max (Tik)

Where i = 1, …, n and k = 2, …,(m-1)

is satisfied, then Johnson’s algorithm can be extended in following way.

Create a hypothetical problem with two machines and n jobs as shown below and objective is to obtain optimal sequence for this. Later, the make-span is to be determined for the optimal sequence by using the data of original problem as above.
