Abstract: In this paper we give a polynomial algorithm for problem Q|r_j, p_j=p, pmtn | \sum C_j whose complexity status was open yet. The algorithm is based on a reduction of the scheduling problem to a linear program. The crucial condition for implementing the proposed reduction is the known order of job completion times.
