The upper bound d k i ,J k i

For Example 1, the values d k i ,i ∈{ 1 , 2 ,..., 8 }, defined in (4) and (5) are given in
column 5 of Table 1. The values d k i defined in (6) and (7) are given in column 6. In
[12], the following claim has been proven.
Theorem 2. [12] If there is no job J k i , i ∈{ 1 , 2 ,...,n− 1 }
, in permutation π k =
( J k 1 ,J k 2 ,...,J k n ) ∈ S such that inequality

holds for at least one job J k j , j ∈{i +1 ,i +2 ,...,n}
, then the stability box
SB ( π k ,T )
is calculated as follows:

Using Theorem 2, we can calculate the stability box
SB ( π k ,T )=
SB ( π 1 ,T ) of the permutation
π 1 =( J 1 ,J 2 ,...,J 8 ) in Example 1. First, we convince that there is no job J k i , i ∈
{ 1 , 2 ,...,n− 1 }, with inequality (8). Due to Theorem 2,
SB ( π 1 ,T ) =
.
The bounds w k i
d k i
and w k i
d k i
on the maximal possible variations of the processing times
p k i preserving the optimality of the permutation π 1 are given in columns 7 and 8 of
Table 1. The maximal ranges (segments) of possible variations of the job processing
times within the stability box
SB ( π 1 ,T ) are dashed in a coordinate system in Fig. 1,
where the abscissa axis is used for indicating the job processing times and the ordinate
axis for the jobs from set
.
Using formula (9), we obtain the stability box for permutation π 1 as follows:
