=== Minimizing the maximum completion time (makespan) ===
Minimizing the ''maximum'' completion time is NP-hard even for ''identical'' machines, by reduction from the [[partition problem]].
 
A constant-factor approximation is attained by the [[Longest-processing-time-first scheduling#uniform|Longest-processing-time-first algorithm]].
