Single machine scheduling problems with earliness and tardiness penalty are well known, but in the case of sequence dependent, the problem is more difficult and there are few researches around it. In related researches, setup time matrix was defined as a deterministic matrix. In this paper sequence dependent single machine scheduling with earliness tardiness penalty considerations using fuzzy s...

In this paper we address a hybrid flow shop scheduling problem considering the minimization of the sum of the total earliness and tardiness penalties. This problem is proven to be NP-hard, and consequently the development of heuristic and meta-heuristic approaches to solve it is well justified. So, we propose an ant colony optimization method to deal with this problem. Our proposed method has s...

This study addresses a class of single-machine scheduling problems involving a common due date where the objective is to minimize the total job earliness and tardiness penalties. A genetic algorithm (GA) approach and a simulated annealing (SA) approach utilizing a greedy local search and three well-known properties in the area of common due date scheduling are developed. The developed algorithm...

The single-machine early/tardy (E/T) scheduling problem is addressed in this research. The objective of this problem is to minimize the total amount of earliness and tardiness. Earliness and tardiness are weighted equally and the due date is common and large (unrestricted) for all jobs. Machine setup time is included and is considered sequence-dependent. When sequence-dependent setup times are ...

In this researcha particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposedfor no-wait flowshopsequence dependent setuptime scheduling problem with weighted earliness-tardiness penalties as the criterion ( | , | ∑ " ).The smallestposition value (SPV) rule is applied to convert the continuous value of position vector of particles in PSO to job permutations.A timing algorithm is generated to find t...

Scheduling problems involving both earliness and tardiness costs have received significant attention in recent years. This type of problem became important with the advent of the justin-time (JIT) concept, where early or tardy deliveries are highly discouraged. In this work we examine the flowshop scheduling problem with no storage constraints and with blocking inprocess. In this latter environ...

Distributed arrival time control (DATC) is a highly distributed feedback control algorithm for the scheduling problems in heterarchical operation systems [V.V. Prabhu, Performance of real-time distributed arrival time control in heterarchical manufacturing systems, IIE Transactions 32 (2000) 323–331]. Although DATC has presented outstanding performance for the real-time scheduling problems in d...

⎯In this paper, we consider the single machine earliness/tardiness scheduling problem with different release dates and no unforced idle time. The most effective lower bound uses multiplier adjustment procedures that require an initial sequence. We investigate the sensitivity of the lower bounding procedure to the initial sequences, and experiment with different scheduling rules and dominance co...

This paper presents the optimal sequence of a set of jobs for a single machine with idle insert, in which the objective function is to minimize the sum of maximum earliness and tardiness (n/1/I/ETmax). Since this problem tries to minimize and diminish the values of earliness and tardiness, the results can be useful for different production systems such as just in time (JIT). Special case of det...

extensive research has been devoted to resource constrained project scheduling problem. however, little attention has been paid to problems where a certain time penalty must be incurred if activity preemption is allowed. in this paper, we consider the project scheduling problem of minimizing the total cost subject to resource constraints, earliness-tardiness penalties and preemption penalties, ...
