Abstract
In this paper we study the problem of scheduling a batching machine with nonidentical job sizes. The jobs arrive simultaneously and have unit processing time. The goal is to minimize the total completion times. Having shown that the problem is NP-hard, we put forward three approximation schemes with worst case ratio 4, 2, and \(\frac{3}{2}\), respectively.
