Minimizing makespan with release times on identical parallel batching machines

چکیده
We consider the problem of scheduling n jobs onm identical parallel batching machines. Each job is characterized by a release time and a processing time. Each machine can process up to B (B < n ) jobs as a batch simultaneously. The processing time of a batch is equal to the largest processing time among all jobs in the batch. The objective is to minimize the maximum completion time (makespan). We present a polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for this problem.

Minimizing makespan on parallel machines subject to release dates and delivery times
We consider the problem of minimizing the makespan on identical parallel machines subject to release dates and delivery times. The objective of this paper is to develop exact branch-and-bound algorithms to solve this strongly NP-hard problem. A preprocessing algorithm is devised to speed up the convergence of the proposed algorithms, and a new tight bounding scheme is introduced. The search tre...
متن کاملSolving a New Multi-objective Unrelated Parallel Machines Scheduling Problem by Hybrid Teaching-learning Based Optimization
This paper considers a scheduling problem of a set of independent jobs on unrelated parallel machines (UPMs) that minimizesthe maximum completion time (i.e., makespan or ), maximum earliness ( ), and maximum tardiness ( ) simultaneously. Jobs have non-identical due dates, sequence-dependent setup times and machine-dependentprocessing times. A multi-objective mixed-integer linear programmi...
متن کاملEfficient algorithms for scheduling equal-length jobs with processing set restrictions on uniform parallel batch machines
We consider the problem of scheduling jobs with equal lengths on uniform parallel batch machines with nonidentical capacities where each job can only be processed on a specified subset of machines called its processing set. For the case of equal release times, we give efficient exact algorithms for various objective functions. For the case of unequal release times, we give efficient exact algor...

A heuristic algorithm that uses iteratively LPT and MF approaches on different job and machine sets constructed by using the current solution is developed to solve a classical multiprocessor scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing the makespan. Computational results indicate that the proposed algorithm is very competitive with respect to well-known constructive algorithms for a larg...
متن کاملA new algorithm for minimizing makespan on identical parallel machines
A heuristic algorithm is developed for the classical multiprocessor scheduling problem in which independent jobs are nonpreemptively scheduled on identical parallel machines with the objective of minimizing the makespan. The algorithm uses iteratively the LPT procedure followed by the MultiFit procedure on different job and machine sets. The effectiveness of our algorithm is evaluated through c...
