abstract

  • This paper considers the following scheduling problem: Minimize the makespan in a single facility problem where the processing time of a job consists of a fixed and a variable part. The variable part depends on the start time of the job. The objective is to minimize makespan. Two optimizing algorithms based on dynamic programming and branch-and-bound techniques and five heuristic rules have been proposed. The heuristic solutions have been compared with the optimal solution for upto 7 jobs to identify the best heuristic. The detailed computational results for the branch-and-bound and the best heuristic rule are then obtained for problems with up to 15 jobs. © 1990.
