Multislot just-in time scheduling deals with processing a set of jobs in an environment with cyclically repeating due dates. Every job must be completed exactly at one of its due dates (just-in-time), and the objective is to minimize the number of cyclical periods (slots) in which all jobs can be scheduled, so that no two jobs scheduled on the same ma- chine overlap in time. In this paper we consider several cases of the problem on identical parallel machines, and discuss their complexity.
