Group sequencing around a common due date
The problem of scheduling groups of jobs on a single machine under the group technology assumption is studied. Jobs of the same group are processed contiguously and a sequence independent setup time precedes the processing of each group. All jobs have a common fixed due date, which can be either unrestrictively large or restrictively small. The objective is to minimize the total weighted earlin...
متن کاملA Finite Capacity Priority Queue with Discouragement
In this paper we report on a study of a two level preemptive priority queue with balking and reneging for lower priority level. The inter-arrival and the service times for both levels follow exponential distribution. We use a finite difference equation approach for solving the balance equations of the governing queuing model whose states are described by functions of one independent variable. H...
متن کاملIntegrated Due Date Setting and Scheduling on a Single Machine Considering an Unexpected Unavailability
In this paper, an integrated machine scheduling withits due date setting problem has been considered. It is assumed that the machine is subject to some kind of random unavailability. Due dates should be set in an attractive and reliable manner, implying that they should be short and possible to be met. To this end, first, long due dates are penalized in the objective function. Then, for each cu...
متن کاملPriority Setting: Right Answer to a Far Too Narrow Question?; Comment on “Global Developments in Priority Setting in Health”
In their recent editorial, Baltussen and colleagues provide a concise summary of the prevailing discourse on priority-setting in health policy. Their perspective is entirely consistent with current practice, yet they unintentionally demonstrate the narrowness and moral precariousness of that discourse and practice. I respond with demonstrations of the importance of ‘interrogating scarcity’ in a...
متن کاملGlobal Developments in Priority Setting in Health
Countries around the world are experiencing an ever-increasing need to make choices in investments in health and healthcare. This makes it incumbent upon them to have formal processes in place to optimize the legitimacy of eventual decisions. There is now growing experience among countries of the implementation of stakeholder participation, and a developing convergence of methods to support dec...
