Problem 1 Recall the job shop scheduling example from class. Now a new set of jobs arrived at Fancy Furnishing's, with the following sequences and processing times: (a) Write down a mixed-integer linear programming optimization problem to find the processing schedule that minimizes the time at which all three jobs have finished. Be clear about what your variables represent. (b) Draw a diagram (Gantt chart) that shows which jobs are run when on which machine.

(a) The mixed-integer linear programming optimization problem to minimize the completion time for all three jobs can be formulated as follows:

Decision Variables:

Let xijt be a binary decision variable, where:
xijt = 1, if job i starts processing on machine j at time t
xijt = 0, otherwise
Objective Function:

Minimize the completion time of the last job, that is:
