Abstract
We consider the problem of scheduling identical jobs with sequence-independent setup times on parallel machines. The objective is to minimize total completion times. We present the pseudopolynomial-time algorithm for the case with a fixed number of machines and an efficient approximation algorithm for our problem with identical setup times, which is known to be NP-hard even for the two-machine case.
