SINGLE MACHINE DUE DATE ASSIGNMENT SCHEDULING PROBLEM WITH PRECEDENCE CONSTRAINTS AND CONTROLLABLE PROCESSING TIMES IN FUZZY ENVIRONMENT
In this paper, a due date assignment scheduling problem with precedence constraints and controllable processing times in uncertain environment is investigated, in which the basic processing time of each job is assumed to be the symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy number, and the linear resource consumption function is used.The objective is to minimize the crisp possibilistic mean (or expected) value of...
متن کاملAn improved monotone algorithm for scheduling related machines with precedence constraints
We answer an open question posed by Krumke, Schwahn, van Stee and Westphal by showing how to turn the algorithm by Chekuri and Bender for scheduling related machines with precedence constraints into a O(logm)-approximation algorithm that is monotone in expectation. This significantly improves on the previously best known monotone approximation algorithms for this problem, by Krumke et al. and T...
متن کاملA General Scheme for Designing Monotone Algorithms for Scheduling Problems with Precedence Constraints
We provide a general scheme for constructing monotone algorithms for a wide class C of scheduling problems Q|prec, rj |γ on related machines with precedence constraints and/or release dates. Our scheme works in the offline and the online setting. It takes as input two approximation/competitive algorithms for the (simpler) scheduling problems P |prec, rj |γ on identical machines and 1|prec, rj |...
متن کاملApproximation Algorithms for Scheduling Jobs with Chain Precedence Constraints
The problem of scheduling jobs with precedence constraints is a central problem in Scheduling Theory which arises in many industrial and scientific applications. In this paper we present a polynomial time approximation scheme for the problem of scheduling jobs with chain precedence constraints on a fixed number of uniformly related machines. Our algorithm works even if we allow “slow” machines ...
متن کاملMulti-Objective Unrelated Parallel Machines Scheduling with Sequence-Dependent Setup Times and Precedence Constraints
This paper presents a novel, multi-objective model of a parallel machines scheduling problem that minimizes the number of tardy jobs and total completion time of all jobs. In this model, machines are considered as unrelated parallel units with different speeds. In addition, there is some precedence, relating the jobs with non-identical due dates and their ready times. Sequence-dependent setup t...
