This article deals with a single-machine n job earliness-tardiness model with jobindependent penalties. It demonstrates that the arrangement of adjacent jobs in an optimal schedule depends on a critical value of the start times. Based on these precedence relations, the article develops criteria unde

Abstract
In this paper, a singleβmachine scheduling problem with weighted earliness and tardiness penalties is considered. Idle time between two adjacent jobs is permitted and due dates of jobs could be unequal. The dominance rules are utilized to develop a relationship matrix, which allows a branchβandβbound algorithm to eliminate a high percentage of infeasible solutions. After combining this matrix with a branching strategy, a procedure to solve the problem is proposed. Β© 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We examine the problem of scheduling n jobs with a common due date on a single machine. The processing time ofeach job is a random variable, which follows an arbitrary distribution with a known mean and a known variance. The machine is not reliable; it is subject to stochastic breakdowns. The objec
This paper analyzes the Smith-heuristic for the single-machine scheduling problem where the objective is to minimize the total weighted completion time subject to the constraint that the tardiness for any job does not exceed a prespecified maximum allowable tardiness. We identify several cases of th
