We consider a two-agent single-machine scheduling problem that minimizes the total weighted tardiness of one agent under the restriction that the second agent is prohibited from having tardy jobs. The actual processing times of all jobs are affected by a sum-of-processing-times-based aging effect. After showing the NP-hardness of the problem, we design a branch-and-bound (B&B) algorithm to find an optimal solution by developing dominance properties and a lower bound for the total weighted tardiness to increase search efficiency. Because B&B takes a long time to find an optimal solution, we propose a genetic algorithm as an efficient, near optimal solution approach. Four methods for generating initial populations are considered, and edge recombination crossover is adopted as a genetic operator. Through numerical experiments, we verify the outstanding performance of the proposed genetic algorithm.

In this paper, we study the problem of unrelated parallel machine scheduling with controllable processing times and deteriorating maintenance activity. The jobs are nonresumable. The processing time of each job is a linear function of the amount of a continuously divisible resource allocated to the job. During the planning horizon, there is at most one maintenance activity scheduled on each machine. Additionally, if the starting time of maintenance activity is delayed, the length of the maintenance activity required to perform will increase. Considering the total completion times of all jobs, the impact of maintenance activity in the form of the variation in machine load and the amounts of compression, we need to determine the job sequence on each machine, the location of maintenance activities and processing time compression of each job simultaneously. Accordingly, a polynomial time solution to the problem is provided.
