Weighted Completion Time

In this study, we consider a scheduling problem with truncated exponential sum-of-logarithm-processing-times based and position-based learning effects on a single machine. We prove that the shortest processing time (SPT) rule is optimal for the makespan minimization problem, the sum of the θth power of job completion times minimization problem, and the total lateness minimization problem, respectively. For the total weighted completion time minimization problem, the discounted total weighted completion time minimization problem, the maximum lateness minimization problem, we present heuristic algorithms (the worst-case bound of these heuristic algorithms are also given) according to the corresponding single machine scheduling problems without learning considerations. It also shows that the problems of minimizing the total tardiness, the total weighted completion time and the discounted total weighted completion time are polynomially solvable under some agreeable conditions on the problem parameters.

Weighted Completion Time

This paper  presents  a  branch  and  bound  algorithm  for  sequencing  a  set  of  n independent  jobs  on  a single  machine  to  minimize sum of the discounted total weighted completion time and maximum lateness,  this problems is NP-hard. Two lower bounds were proposed and heuristic method to get an upper bound. Some special cases were  proved and some dominance rules were suggested and proved, the problem solved with up to 50 jobs.
