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.

Tardy Jobs

We studied single machine scheduling problems in which the jobs need to be delivered to customers after processing. It is assumed that the delivery times are proportional to the length of the already processed jobs, and a job's processing time depended on its position in a sequence. The objective functions include total earliness, the weighted number of tardy jobs and the cost of due date assignment. We analyzed these problems with two different due date assignment methods and conclude that the problems are polynomial time solvable.
