Scheduling Jobs with Equal Processing Times
نویسندگان
چکیده
Whereas the overwhelming majority of scheduling problems appears to be NP-hard, models with equal processing time jobs form a remarkable case which is still open for most problems but it intuitively looks polynomially solvable. The basic scheduling problem we are dealing with is the following. There are n jobs, each requiring an identical execution time p. There are associated a release time rj and a deadline Dj with each job. All data are assumed to be integers. The aim is to construct a feasible schedule so as to minimize a given criterion. In this paper, we survey existing approaches for the problem considered, and for various machine environments.

Optimal Two Stages Specially Structured Flow Shop Scheduling: Minimize the Rental Cost with Independent Setup Time
One of the earliest results in flow shop scheduling theory is an algorithm given by Johnson’s [1] for scheduling jobs on two or three machines to minimize the total elapsed time whenever the processing times of jobs are random. The present paper is an attempt to develop a heuristic algorithm for two stages specially structured flow shop scheduling in which the processing times of the jobs a...

We consider the problem of scheduling jobs with equal lengths on uniform parallel batch machines with nonidentical capacities where each job can only be processed on a specified subset of machines called its processing set. For the case of equal release times, we give efficient exact algorithms for various objective functions. For the case of unequal release times, we give efficient exact algor...

This paper considers identical parallel machines scheduling problem with past-sequence-dependent setup times, deteriorating jobs and learning effects, in which the actual processing time of a job on each machine is given as a function of the processing times of the jobs already processed and its scheduled position on the corresponding machine. In addition, the setup time of a job on each machin...

This paper presents a mathematical model for a flow shop scheduling problem consisting of m machine and n jobs with fuzzy processing times that can be estimated as independent stochastic or fuzzy numbers. In the traditional flow shop scheduling problem, the typical objective is to minimize the makespan). However,, two significant criteria for each schedule in stochastic models are: expectable m...
