In this paper we give a survey of the most important results on multicriteria scheduling that have appeared in the literature or are to appear. We provide an extensive introduction including two example problems and then discuss the relevant literature. Here we pay special attention to the area of earliness-tardiness scheduling, scheduling with controllable processing times, simultaneous approx...

A mathematical programming model for a class of single machine family scheduling problems is described in this technical report, with the aim of comparing the performance in solving the scheduling problem by means of mathematical programming with the performance obtained when using optimal control strategies, that can be derived from the application of a dynamic programming-based methodology pr...

UNLABELLED Uncontrollable, compared with controllable, painful stimulation can lead to increased pain perception and activation in pain-processing brain regions, but it is currently unknown which brain areas mediate this effect. When pain is controllable, the lateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) seems to inhibit pain processing, although it is unclear how this is achieved. Using fMRI in healthy volu...

When the processing times of jobs are controllable, selected processing times affect both themanufacturing cost and the scheduling performance.Awell-known example for such a case that this paper specifically deals with is the turning operation on a CNCmachine. Manufacturing cost of a turning operation is a nonlinear convex function of its processing time. We also know that scheduling decisions ...

In this paper, we address the problem of production systems having two characteristics. First, the manufacturing times can be chosen between given bounds. Such a production system is said to have controllable processing times. Second, an operation must start as soon as the previous operation on the same part (if any) is completed. A production system having this characteristic is said to be no-...
