โฆ Synopsis
We investigate a single machine scheduling problem where the resource consumed depends on the release times of jobs. The objective is to minimize the total consumption subject to a constraint on the makespan or the total completion time.
Results by Li are extended to the case where the consumption function is convex decreasing. A further extension to multiple consumption functions is shown. Conditions for feasibility are developed in each case.

It is sometimes advantageous to form a non-full batch, while in other situations it is a better strategy to wait for future job arrivals in order to increase the fullness of the batch. On th
