G=M1+M2 11 15 9 8
H=M1+M2 13 15 12 14
Table 3, Table 2, Table 1
The given task is of n jobs and three machines.
We change the task in of n jobs and two machines.
For this either Min M1M3×M2 or min M3 max M2
Here min M3=7=M1×M2
Hence, we write M1+M2=G and M2+M3=H the task will be as follows in the table 1
And the sequence as follows in table 2
The minimum elapsed time =42hrs.
Ideal time for M1=4223=19hrs.
