Two-machine flow shop scheduling problem with an outsourcing option

We consider a two-machine flow shop problem in which each job is processed through an in-house system or outsourced to a subcontractor. A schedule is established for the in-house jobs, and performance is measured by the makespan. Jobs processed by subcontractors require paying an outsourcing cost. The objective is to minimize the sum of the makespan and total outsourcing costs. We show that the problem is NP-hard in the ordinary sense. We consider a special case in which each job has a processing requirement, and each machine a characteristic value. In this case, the time a job occupies a machine is equal to the job’s processing requirement plus a setup time equal to the characteristic value of that machine. We introduce some optimality conditions and present a polynomial-time algorithm to solve the special case.     

NP-hard cases in scheduling deteriorating jobs on dedicated machines

In this paper problems of time-dependent scheduling on dedicated machines are considered. The processing time of each job is described by a function which is dependent on the starting time of the job. The objective is to minimise the maximum completion time (makespan). We prove that under linear deterioration the two-machine flow shop problem is strongly NP-hard and the two-machine open shop problem is ordinarily NP-hard. We show that for the three-machine flow shop and simple linear deterioration there does not exist a polynomial-time approximation algorithm with the worst case ratio bounded by a constant, unless P=NP. We also prove that the three-machine open shop problem with simple linear deterioration is ordinarily NP-hard, even if the jobs have got equal deterioration rates on the third machine.     

A 3/2-Approximation for the proportionate two-machine flow shop scheduling with minimum delays

We study the two-machine flow shop problem with minimum delays. The problem is known to be strongly NP-hard even in the case of unit processing times and to be approximable within a factor of 2 of the length of an optimal schedule in the general case. The question whether there exists a polynomial-time algorithm with a better approximation ratio has been posed by several researchers but still remains open. In this paper, we improve the above bound to 3/2 for the special case of the problem when both operations of each job have equal processing times (this case of flow shop is known as the proportionate flow shop). Our analysis of the algorithm relies upon a nontrivial generalization of the lower bound established by W. Yu for the case of unit processing times.

Two-machine shop scheduling: Compromise between flexibility and makespan value

In this paper, we consider the problem of providing flexibility to solutions of two-machine shop scheduling problems. We use the concept of group-scheduling to characterize a whole set of schedules so as to provide more choice to the decision-maker at any decision point. A group-schedule is a sequence of groups of permutable operations defined on each machine where each group is such that any permutation of the operations inside the group leads to a feasible schedule. Flexibility of a solution and its makespan are often conflicting, thus we search for a compromise between a low number of groups and a small value of makespan. We resolve the complexity status of the relevant problems for the two-machine flow shop, job shop and open shop. A number of approximation algorithms are developed and their worst-case performance is analyzed. For the flow shop, an effective heuristic algorithm is proposed and the results of computational experiments are reported.     

Outsourcing and scheduling for two-machine ordered flow shop scheduling problems

This paper considers a two-machine ordered flow shop problem, where each job is processed through the in-house system or outsourced to a subcontractor. For in-house jobs, a schedule is constructed and its performance is measured by the makespan. Jobs processed by subcontractors require paying an outsourcing cost. The objective is to minimize the sum of the makespan and the total outsourcing cost. Since this problem is NP-hard, we present an approximation algorithm. Furthermore, we consider three special cases in which job j has a processing time requirement p_j, and machine i a characteristic q_i. The first case assumes the time job j occupies machine i is equal to the processing requirement divided by a characteristic value of machine i, that is, p_j/q_i. The second (third) case assumes that the time job j occupies machine i is equal to the maximum (minimum) of its processing requirement and a characteristic value of the machine, that is, max{p_j, q_i} (min{p_j, q_i}). We show that the first and the second cases are NP-hard and the third case is polynomially solvable.     

Two-stage production scheduling with an outsourcing option

This paper considers a two-stage production scheduling problem in which each activity requires two operations to be processed in stages 1 and 2, respectively. There are two options for processing each operation: the first is to produce it by utilizing in-house resources, while the second is to outsource it to a subcontractor. For in-house operations, a schedule is constructed and its performance is measured by the makespan, that is, the latest completion time of operations processed in-house. Operations by subcontractors are instantaneous but require outsourcing cost. The objective is to minimize the weighted sum of the makespan and the total outsourcing cost. This paper analyzes how the model’s computational complexity changes according to unit outsourcing costs in both stages and describes the boundary between NP-hard and polynomially solvable cases. Finally, this paper presents an approximation algorithm for one NP-hard case.     

Application of an optimization problem in Max-Plus algebra to scheduling problems

The problem tackled in this paper deals with products of a finite number of triangular matrices in Max-Plus algebra, and more precisely with an optimization problem related to the product order. We propose a polynomial time optimization algorithm for 2×2 matrices products. We show that the problem under consideration generalizes numerous scheduling problems, like single machine problems or two-machine flow shop problems. Then, we show that for 3×3 matrices, the problem is NP-hard and we propose a branch-and-bound algorithm, lower bounds and upper bounds to solve it. We show that an important number of results in the literature can be obtained by solving the presented problem, which is a generalization of single machine problems, two- and three-machine flow shop scheduling problems. The branch-and-bound algorithm is tested in the general case and for a particular case and some computational experiments are presented and discussed.
