We present an algorithm which determines the optimal permutations for all machine speeds in O ( n log n ) time, where n is the number of jobs. To achieve this bound on the running time, the algorithm employs an elementary dominance relation. Key words: Scheduling, Flow Shop, Algorithm Analysis, Controllable Machine Speeds.
