Consider a number of jobs to be processed on a number of identical machines in parallel. A job has a processing time, a weight and a due date. If a job is followed by another job, a setup time independent of the machine is incurred. A three phase heuristic is presented for minimizing the sum of the

โฆ Synopsis
In this paper we explore ยฏowshop scheduling problems containing both sequence-dependent setup times and ยฎnite buers. To the best of our knowledge, problems containing both of these complexities have not been addressed previously in the literature. The problem is clearly NP-hard and therefore we only consider heuristic solution methods. We propose a tabu search based solution procedure. Computational results demonstrate the eectiveness of this approach relative to the other methods discussed.

This paper considers single machine scheduling problems with setup times and deteriorating jobs. The setup times are proportional to the length of the already processed jobs, that is, the setup times are past-sequence-dependent (p-s-d). It is assumed that the job processing times are defined by func
In this paper we consider the single machine scheduling problem with exponential time-dependent learning effect and past-sequence-dependent (p-s-d) setup times. By the exponential time-dependent learning effect, we mean that the processing time of a job is defined by an exponent function of the tota
