Single machine scheduling with general job-dependent aging effect and maintenance activities to minimize makespan

This paper considers single machine scheduling with an aging effect in which the processing time of a job depends on its position in a sequence. It is assumed that aging ratios are job-dependent and machine can be maintained some times in a schedule. After a maintenance activity, machine will be restored to its initial condition. The processing of jobs and the maintenance activities of machine are scheduled simultaneously. The objective is to schedule the jobs and the maintenance activities, so as to minimize the makespan. We provide a polynomial time algorithm to solve the problem.     

Single-machine scheduling with common due-window assignment for deteriorating jobs

In this paper, we consider a single-machine common due-window assignment scheduling problem with deteriorating jobs. Jobs’ processing times are defined by function of their starting times and job-dependent deterioration rates that are related to jobs and are not all equal. The objective is to determine an optimal combination of sequence and common due-window location so as to minimize the weighted sum of earliness, tardiness and due-window location penalties. We propose an O(n² log n) time algorithm to solve the problem and discuss several instances to illustrate it.     

Due-window assignment with identical jobs on parallel uniform machines

A scheduling problem with a common due-window, earliness and tardiness costs, and identical processing time jobs is studied. We focus on the setting of both (i) job-dependent earliness/tardiness job weights and (ii) parallel uniform machines. The objective is to find the job allocation to the machines and the job schedule, such that the total weighted earliness and tardiness cost is minimized. We study both cases of a non-restrictive (i.e. sufficiently late), and a restrictive due-window. For a given number of machines, the solutions of the problems studied here are obtained in polynomial time in the number of jobs.     

Bi-criterion single-machine scheduling and due-window assignment with common flow allowances and resource-dependent processing times

This paper addresses single-machine scheduling and due-window assignment with common flow allowances and resource-dependent processing times. Due-window assignment with common flow allowances means that each job has a job-dependent due window, the start time and finish time of which are equal to its actual processing time plus individual job-independent parameters shared by all the jobs, respectively. The processing time of each job can be controlled by extra resource allocation as a linear function of the amount of a common continuously divisible resource allocated to the job. Two criteria are considered, where one criterion is an integrated cost consisting of job earliness, weighted number of tardy jobs, and due-window assignment cost, while the other criterion is the resource consumption cost. Four different models are considered for treating the two criteria. It is shown that the problem under the model where the two criteria are integrated into a single criterion is polynomially solvable, while the problems under the other three models are all NP-hard and an optimal solution procedure is developed for them. Two polynomially solvable cases are also identified and investigated. Finally, numerical studies with randomly generated instances are conducted to assess the performance of the proposed algorithms.     

Single-machine common flow allowance scheduling with job-dependent aging effects and a deteriorating maintenance activity

We consider a single machine due date assignment scheduling problem with job-dependent aging effects and a deteriorating maintenance activity, where due dates are assigned using the SLK due date determination method. We need to make a decision on when to schedule the deteriorating maintenance activity, the optimal common flow allowance and the sequence of jobs to minimize total earliness, tardiness and common flow allowance cost. We show that the problem remains polynomially solvable under the proposed model.     

Single-machine scheduling problems with both start-time dependent learning and position dependent aging effects under deteriorating maintenance consideration

In this paper we introduce a new model of joint start-time dependent learning and position dependent aging effects into single-machine scheduling problems. The machine may need maintenance to improve its production efficiency. The objectives are to find jointly the optimal maintenance position and the optimal sequence such that the makespan, the total completion time, and the total absolute deviation of completion times (TADC) are minimized. We also aim to determine jointly the optimal maintenance position, the optimal due-window size and location, and the optimal sequence to minimize the sum of earliness, tardiness and due-window related costs function. We show that all the studied problems can be optimally solved by polynomial time algorithms.     

Single machine scheduling with multiple common due date assignment and aging effect under a deteriorating maintenance activity consideration

In this paper, we consider the multiple common due date assignment and single machine scheduling with a job-dependent aging effect and a deteriorating maintenance activity. Once the maintenance activity has been completed, the machine will revert to its initial condition and the aging effect will start anew, the maintenance duration depends on its starting time. The objective is to minimize the total of earliness, tardiness, due date costs and find the optimal due date, the optimal maintenance position. We introduce an efficient O(n ⁴) algorithm to solve the problem. We also provide a special case of the problem and show that it remains polynomial time solvable.     

Single machine scheduling with truncated job-dependent learning effect

In this paper we consider the single machine scheduling problem with truncated job-dependent learning effect. By the truncated job-dependent learning effect, we mean that the actual job processing time is a function which depends not only on the job-dependent learning effect (i.e., the learning in the production process of some jobs to be faster than that of others) but also on a control parameter. The objectives are to minimize the makespan, the total completion time, the total absolute deviation of completion time, the earliness, tardiness and common (slack) due-date penalty, respectively. Several polynomial time algorithms are proposed to optimally solve the problems with the above objective functions.     

Single machine common flow allowance scheduling with deteriorating jobs and a rate-modifying activity

We study a single machine slack due date assignment (usually referred to as SLK) scheduling problem with deteriorating jobs and a rate-modifying activity. The deterioration effect manifest such that the job processing time is a function of its starting time in a sequence. The rate-modifying activity is an activity that changes the processing rate of machine, i.e., the machine performs a rate-modifying activity. Hence the actual processing time of a job is a variable, which depends not only on its starting time in a sequence but also on whether it is scheduled before or after a rate-modifying activity. The goal is to schedule the rate-modifying activity, the optimal common flow allowance and the sequence of jobs to minimize the total earliness, the total tardiness and the common flow allowance cost. We show that the problem remains polynomially solvable under the proposed model.
