Weighted Completion Time

This paper deals with the single machine scheduling problem with deteriorating jobs in which there are two distinct families of jobs (i.e., two-agent) pursuing different objectives. In this model the processing time of a job is defined as a function that is proportional to a linear function of its stating time. For the following three scheduling criteria: minimizing the makespan, minimizing the total weighted completion time, and minimizing the maximum lateness, we show that some basic versions of the problem are polynomially solvable. We also establish the conditions under which the problem is computationally hard.

Weighted Completion Time

A single-machine two-agent scheduling problem with a truncation learning effect is being addressed in the study. The truncation learning effect means that the actual processing time of a job is a function of the sum of processing times of already scheduled jobs and a control parameter. The aim is to find an optimal schedule to minimize the total weighted completion time of jobs of the first agent under the circumstances that no tardy job is allowed for the second agent. A branch-and-bound and three heuristic-based genetic algorithms (GAs) are proposed to solve the problem. Also presented in the study are the computational results of all proposed algorithms.

Weighted Completion Time

In this study, we consider a scheduling problem with truncated exponential sum-of-logarithm-processing-times based and position-based learning effects on a single machine. We prove that the shortest processing time (SPT) rule is optimal for the makespan minimization problem, the sum of the θth power of job completion times minimization problem, and the total lateness minimization problem, respectively. For the total weighted completion time minimization problem, the discounted total weighted completion time minimization problem, the maximum lateness minimization problem, we present heuristic algorithms (the worst-case bound of these heuristic algorithms are also given) according to the corresponding single machine scheduling problems without learning considerations. It also shows that the problems of minimizing the total tardiness, the total weighted completion time and the discounted total weighted completion time are polynomially solvable under some agreeable conditions on the problem parameters.

This paper  presents  a  branch  and  bound  algorithm  for  sequencing  a  set  of  n independent  jobs  on  a single  machine  to  minimize sum of the discounted total weighted completion time and maximum lateness,  this problems is NP-hard. Two lower bounds were proposed and heuristic method to get an upper bound. Some special cases were  proved and some dominance rules were suggested and proved, the problem solved with up to 50 jobs.
