How Open-Shop Scheduling Instance Generator works

Generate a reproducible processing-time matrix for an open-shop scheduling problem. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1

Processing times
The resulting processing times returned as a list.

Limitations and assumptions

  • Generated instances reflect the chosen distribution, size, density, and seed; they may not resemble operational data or cover adversarial cases. A generated UUID's properties depend on its version and random source.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

Record the seed and parameters, test multiple distributions and edge cases, and include representative real-world instances when evaluating solver quality.
