Processing n Jobs Through Three Machines This case is similar to previous case except that instead of two machines, there are three machines, Problems falling under this category can be solved by method developed by Jonson. Following are the two conditions of this approach: The smallest processing time on machine A is greater than or equal to the greatest processing time on machine B, i.e., Min. (Ai) >= Max. (Bi) Minimum of Machine A greater than or equal to Maximum of Machine B The smallest processing time on machine C is greater than or equal to the greatest processing time on machine B, i.e, Min.

Processing n Jobs Through Three Machines
This case is similar to previous case except that instead of two machines, there are three machines, Problems falling under this category can be solved by method developed by Jonson.
Following are the two conditions of this approach:
- The smallest processing time on machine A is greater than or equal to the greatest processing time on machine B, i.e.,
Min. (Ai) >= Max. (Bi)
Minimum of Machine A greater than or equal to Maximum of Machine B
- The smallest processing time on machine C is greater than or equal to the greatest processing time on machine B, i.e,
Min. (Bi) <= Max. (Ci)
Minimum of Machine B less than or equal Maximum of Machine C
Maximum of Machine C greater than or equal to Maximum of Machine B
If either or both of the above conditions are satisfied, then we replace the three machines by two fictitious machines G & H with corresponding processing times given by
Gi = Ai + Bi
Hi = Bi+ Ci
Where Gi and Hi are the processing times for ith job on machine G and H respectively. After calculating the new processing times, we determine the optimal sequence of jobs for the machines G & H in the usual manner.
