Single machine scheduling problem with controllable processing times and resource dependent release times

We consider two single machine scheduling problems with resource dependent release times and processing times, in which the release times and processing times are linearly decreasing functions of the amount of resources consumed. The objective is to minimize the total cost of makespan and resource consumption function that is composed of release time reduction and processing time reduction. In the first problem, the cost of reducing a unit release time for each job is common. We show that the problem can be solved in polynomial time. The second problem assumes different reduction costs of job release times. We show that the problem can be reduced polynomially from the partition problem and thus, is NP-complete.

Group Scheduling with Controllable Setup and Processing Times: Minimizing Total Weighted Completion Time

The following single machine scheduling problem is studied. A partition of a set of n jobs into g groups on the basis of group technology is given. The machine processes jobs of the same group contiguously, with a sequence independent setup time preceding the processing of each group. The setup times and the job processing times are controllable through the allocation of a continuously divisible or discrete resource to them. Each job uses the same amount of the resource. Each setup also uses the same amount of resource, which may be different from that for the jobs. Polynomial-time algorithms are constructed for variants of the problem of finding an optimal job sequence and resource values so as to minimize the total weighted job completion time, subject to given restrictions on resource consumption. The algorithms are based on a polynomial enumeration of the candidates for an optimal job sequence and solving the problem with a fixed job sequence by linear programming.

Minimizing Completion Time Variance with Compressible Processing Times

We introduce a new formulation of the standard completion time variance (CTV) problem with n jobs and one machine, in which the job sequence and the processing times of the jobs are all decision variables. The processing time of job i (i=1, ,n) can be compressed by an amount within [l_i, u_i], which however will incur a compression cost. The compression cost is a general convex non-decreasing function of the amount of the job processing time compressed. The objective is to minimize a weighted combination of the completion time variance and the total compression cost. We show that, under an agreeable condition on the bounds of the processing time compressions, a pseudo-polynomial algorithm can be derived to find an optimal solution for the problem. Based on the pseudo-polynomial time algorithm, two heuristic algorithms H1 and H2 are proposed for the general problem. The relative errors of both heuristic algorithms are guaranteed to be no more than , where is a measure of deviation from the agreeable condition. While H1 can find an optimal solution for the agreeable problem, H2 is dominant for solving the general problem. We also derive a tight lower bound for the optimal solution of the general problem. The performance of H2 is evaluated by complete enumeration for small n, and by comparison with this tight lower bound for large n. Computational results (with n up to 80) are reported, which show that the heuristic algorithm H2 in general can efficiently yield near optimal solutions, when n is large.

Scheduling with partial rejection

We study a single machine scheduling problem with partial rejection. Each job is with an integer processing time. Partial rejection occurs when a job is only partly processed with penalty for the rejected part. We focus on integer size rejection. The objective is to minimize the total weighted completion time of processed jobs plus the total rejection cost. We develop a polynomial time optimal algorithm to solve the problem. We also present an easy-to-implement pseudopolynomial time optimal algorithm.     

The coordination of transportation and batching scheduling

We study a coordinated scheduling problem of production and transportation in which each job is transported to a single batching machine for further processing. There are m vehicles that transport jobs from the holding area to the batching machine. Each vehicle can transport only one job at a time. The batching machine can process a batch of jobs simultaneously where there is an upper limit on the batch size. Each batch to be processed occurs a processing cost. The problem is to find a joint schedule of production and transportation such that the sum of the total completion time and the total processing cost is optimized. For a special case of the problem where the job assignment to the vehicles is predetermined, we provide a polynomial time algorithm. For the general problem, we prove that it is NP-hard (in the ordinary sense) and present a pseudo-polynomial time algorithm. A fully polynomial time approximation scheme for the general problem is obtained by converting an especially designed pseudo-polynomial dynamic programming algorithm.     

Realistic two-stage flowshop batch scheduling problems with transportation capacity and times

This paper investigates single-batch and batch-single flow shop scheduling problem taking transportation among machines into account. Both transportation capacity and transportation times are explicitly considered. While the single processing machine processes one job at a time, the batch processing machine processes a batch of jobs simultaneously. The batch processing time is the longest processing times of jobs assigned to that batch.Each problem is formulated as a mixed integer programming model to find optimal makespan. Lower bounds and heuristic algorithms are proposed and computational experiments are carried out to verify their effectiveness.     

The single-machine earliness-tardiness scheduling problem with due date assignment and resource-dependent processing times

We study the earliness-tardiness scheduling problem on a single machine with due date assignment and controllable processing times. We analyze the problem with three different due date assignment methods and two different processing time functions. For each combination of these, we provide a polynomial-time algorithm to find the optimal job sequence, due date values and resource allocation minimizing an objective function which includes earliness, tardiness, due date assignment, makespan and total resource consumption costs.
