Weighted Completion Time

This paper deals with the single machine scheduling problem with deteriorating jobs in which there are two distinct families of jobs (i.e., two-agent) pursuing different objectives. In this model the processing time of a job is defined as a function that is proportional to a linear function of its stating time. For the following three scheduling criteria: minimizing the makespan, minimizing the total weighted completion time, and minimizing the maximum lateness, we show that some basic versions of the problem are polynomially solvable. We also establish the conditions under which the problem is computationally hard.

Weighted Completion Time

A single-machine two-agent scheduling problem with a truncation learning effect is being addressed in the study. The truncation learning effect means that the actual processing time of a job is a function of the sum of processing times of already scheduled jobs and a control parameter. The aim is to find an optimal schedule to minimize the total weighted completion time of jobs of the first agent under the circumstances that no tardy job is allowed for the second agent. A branch-and-bound and three heuristic-based genetic algorithms (GAs) are proposed to solve the problem. Also presented in the study are the computational results of all proposed algorithms.
