This article discusses the problem of scheduling a large set of parts on an FMS so as to minimize the total completion time. Here, the FMS consists of a set of parallel identical machines. Setup time is incurred whenever a machine switches from one type of part to another. The setup time may be larg

In this paper, we study the problem of scheduling n independent jobs non-preemptively on m unrelated parallel machines. Each job j has a processing time and a deadline, the time at which the job must be completed. On each machine, jobs may be grouped to form batches containing continuously scheduled
The problem of scheduling groups of jobs on unrelated parallel machines in batches subject to group deadlines was studied by Brucker et al. ( 1997) and Kovalyov and Shafransky ( 1994). A classification of computational complexities of special cases was provided only for the situation when all groups
We consider multiobjective scheduling problems, i.e. scheduling problems that are evaluated with respect to many cost criteria, and we are interested in determining a trade-o (Pareto curve) among these criteria. We study two types of bicriteria scheduling problems: single-machine batching problems a
