โฆ Synopsis
This paper considers a single machine scheduling problem. There are n jobs to be processed on a single machine. The problem is to minimize total earliness penalties subject to no tardy jobs. The problem is NP-complete if the due-dates are arbitrary. We study the problem when the due-dates are determined by the equal slack (SLK) method. Two special cases of the problem are solved in polynomial time. The first one is the problem with equally weighted monotonous penalty objective function. The second one is the problem with weighted linear penalty objective function. (~) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

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
