چکیده

We consider the problem of minimizing the makespan when scheduling tasks on two uniform parallel machines, where one machine is q times as efficient on each task as is the other. We compute the maximum relative error of the LPT (largest processing time first) heuristic as a function of q. In the special case that the two machines are identical (q = 1), our problem and heuristic are identical to the problem and heuristic analyzed by Graham [1969]. * On leave from the department of Management Science, Ohio State University.

A fuzzy mixed-integer goal programming model for a parallel machine scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times and release dates

This paper presents a new mixed-integer goal programming (MIGP) model for a parallel machine scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times and release dates. Two objectives are considered in the model to minimize the total weighted flow time and the total weighted tardiness simultaneously. Due to the com-plexity of the above model and uncertainty involved in real-world scheduling probl...

Single-machine scheduling considering carryover sequence-dependent setup time, and earliness and tardiness penalties of production

Production scheduling is one of the very important problems that industry and production are confronted with it. Production scheduling is often planned in the industrial environments while productivity in production can improve significantly the expansion of simultaneous optimization of the scheduling plan. Production scheduling and production are two areas that have attracted much attention in...

A Possibility Linear Programming Approach to Solve a Fuzzy Single Machine Scheduling Problem

This paper employs an interactive possibility linear programming approach to solve a single machine scheduling problem with imprecise processing times, due dates, as well as earliness and tardiness penalties of jobs. The proposed approach is based on a strategy of minimizing the most possible value of the imprecise total costs, maximizing the possibility of obtaining a lower total costs, and mi...

Minimizing the Number of Tardy Jobs in the Single Machine Scheduling Problem under Bimodal Flexible and Periodic Availability Constraints

In single machine scheduling problems with availability constraints, machines are not available for one or more periods of time. In this paper, we consider a single machine scheduling problem with flexible and periodic availability constraints. In this problem, the maximum continuous working time for each machine increases in a stepwise manner with two different values allowed. Also, the durati...

GENETIC AND TABU SEARCH ALGORITHMS FOR THE SINGLE MACHINE SCHEDULING PROBLEM WITH SEQUENCE-DEPENDENT SET-UP TIMES AND DETERIORATING JOBS

 This paper introduces the effects of job deterioration and sequence dependent set- up time in a single machine scheduling problem. The considered optimization criterion is the minimization of the makespan (Cmax). For this purpose, after formulating the mathematical model, genetic and tabu search algorithms were developed for the problem. Since population diversity is a very important issue in ...
