There are several ways in which the job-shop scheduling problem can be modified, often to simplify the problem, for a variety of applications.
For example, in the manufacturing industry, it is common for some jobs to require certain machines to perform tasks, due to the proper capabilities or equipment of a given machine. This adds an additional layer of complexity to the problem, because not any job can be processed on any machine. This is known as flexible manufacturing.
This problem can also be applied to many projects in the technology industry. In computer programming, it is typical that instructions can only be executed one at a time, sequentially. In this example of multiprocessor task scheduling, the instructions are the jobs to be performed and the processors required for each task can be compared to the machines.
In automation, tasks are similarly optimized.
