The Open Shop Scheduling Problem or OSSP is a scheduling problem where, given jobs and workstations, each job has to visit a workstation at least once. The order in which this happens is not relevant (in contrast to the Job-Shop problem, where the order of jobs does matter).

NP-hardness

The OSSP can be solved in polynomial time for two machines. For three or more machines, the problem is known to be NP-hard.
