A problem space algorithm for single machine weighted tardiness problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a problem space genetic algorithm to solve single machine total weighted tardiness scheduling problems. The proposed algorithm utilizes global and time-dependent local dominance rules to improve the neighborhood structure of the search space. They are also a powerful exploitation (intensifying) tool since the global optimum is one of the local optimum solutions. Furthermore, the problem space search method significantly enhances the exploration (diversification) capability of the genetic algorithm. In summary, we can improve both solution quality and robustness over the other local search algorithms reported in the literature.

A Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for a Possibilistic Open Shop Problem to Minimize Weighted Mean Tardiness and Weighted Mean Completion Times
We consider an open shop scheduling problem. At first, a bi-objective possibilistic mixed-integer programming formulation is developed. The inherent uncertainty in processing times and due dates as fuzzy parameters, machine-dependent setup times and removal times are the special features of this model. The considered bi-objectives are to minimize the weighted mean tardiness and weighted mean co...
متن کاملSolving the Single Machine Problem with Quadratic Earliness and Tardiness Penalties
Nowadays, scheduling problems have a considerable application in production and service systems. In this paper, we consider the scheduling of n jobs on a single machine assuming no machine idleness, non-preemptive jobs and equal process times. In many of previous researches, because of the delivery dalays and holding costs, earliness and tardiness penalties emerge in the form of linear combin...

This paper addresses the Tardy/Lost penalty minimization on a single machine. According to this penalty criterion, if the tardiness of a job exceeds a predefined value, the job will be lost and penalized by a fixed value. Besides its application in real world problems, Tardy/Lost measure is a general form for popular objective functions like weighted tardiness, late work and tardiness with reje...

This paper presents a scheduling problem with unrelated parallel machines and sequencedependent setup times that minimizes the total weighted tardiness. A new branch-and-bound (B and B) algorithm is designed incorporating the lower and upper bounding schemes and several dominance properties. The lower and upper bounds are derived through an assignment problem and the composite dispatching rule ...
متن کاملMinimizing Total Weighted Tardiness with Drop Dead Dates in Single Machine Scheduling Problem
This paper deals with minimization of tardiness in single machine scheduling problem when each job has two different due-dates i.e. ordinary due-date and drop dead date. The drop dead date is the date in which jobs’ weights rise sharply or the customer cancels the order. A linear programming formulation is developed for the problem and since the problem is known to be NP-hard, three heuristic...
