An improved max-flow-based lower bound for minimizing maximum lateness on identical parallel machines

چکیده
In this paper, we introduce a new concept of semi-preemptive scheduling and we show how it can be used to derive a maximumow based lower bound for the P=rj=Lmax which dominates the well-known preemptive lower bound. We show that, in some cases the proposed bound strictly dominates the preemptive one while having the same complexity.

A New Lower Bound for Flexible Flow Shop Problem with Unrelated Parallel Machines
Flexible flow shop scheduling problem (FFS) with unrelated parallel machines contains sequencing in flow shop where, at any stage, there exists one or more processors. The objective consists of minimizing the maximum completion time. Because of NP-completeness of FFS problem, it is necessary to use heuristics method to address problems of moderate to large scale problem. Therefore, for assessme...
متن کاملHeuristic approach to solve hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with unrelated parallel machines
In hybrid flow shop scheduling problem (HFS) with unrelated parallel machines, a set of n jobs are processed on k machines. A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model for the HFS scheduling problems with unrelated parallel machines has been proposed to minimize the maximum completion time (makespan). Since the problem is shown to be NP-complete, it is necessary to use heuristic methods to ...
متن کاملA New ILP Model for Identical Parallel-Machine Scheduling with Family Setup Times Minimizing the Total Weighted Flow Time by a Genetic Algorithm
This paper presents a novel, integer-linear programming (ILP) model for an identical parallel-machine scheduling problem with family setup times that minimizes the total weighted flow time (TWFT). Some researchers have addressed parallel-machine scheduling problems in the literature over the last three decades. However, the existing studies have been limited to the research of independent jobs,...
متن کاملAn Approximate Pareto Set for Minimizing the Maximum Lateness and Makespan on Parallel Machines
We consider the two-parallel machines scheduling problem, with the aim of minimizing the maximum lateness and the makespan. Formally, the problem is defined as follows. We have to schedule a set J of n jobs on two identical machines. Each job i ∈ J has a processing time pi and a delivery time qi. Each machine can only perform one job at a given time. The machines are available at time t = 0 and...
متن کاملMinimizing Maximum Lateness on Identical Parallel Batch Processing Machines
We consider the problem of scheduling n jobs with release dates on m identical parallel batch processing machines so as to minimize the maximum lateness. Each batch processing machine can process up to B (B < n) jobs simultaneously as a batch, and the processing time of a batch is the largest processing time among the jobs in the batch. Jobs processed in the same batch start and complete at the...
