Abstract
We consider a two-machine open shop scheduling problem in the case when the processing times of the jobs are not known exactly, but given only in the form of fuzzy numbers. In such a case the decision maker may be interested in the possible values of completing the whole processing and their possibility degrees. In the paper, we propose an answer to this question by defining the fuzzy optimal completion time.
