Add a dummy job . Give the arc cost equal to job 's initial setup, the arc its changeover cost, and every arc zero cost. A Hamiltonian cycle through the dummy represents a schedule, starting just after and ending just before it. The total processing time is constant on a single machine, so minimizing cycle cost minimizes completion time. Dropping subtour elimination constraints gives an assignment problem lower bound.
