We consider the problem of scheduling n groups of jobs on a single machine where three types of decisions are combined: scheduling, batching and due-date assignment. Each group includes identical jobs and may be split into batches; jobs within each batch are processed jointly. A sequence independent machine set-up time is needed between each two consecutively scheduled batches of different grou...

This paper considers common due-date assignment and scheduling on parallel machines. The main decisions are: (a) deter-mining the common due-date; (b) allocating jobs to machines; and (c) sequencing the jobs assigned to each machine. The objective is to minimize the sum of the penalties associated with common due-date assignment, earliness and tardiness. As an extension of the existing studies ...

This study investigates single-machine due-date assignment and scheduling problems with a job-dependent aging effect under a deteriorating maintenance activity consideration simultaneously. The maintenance activity can be scheduled immediately after any one of the jobs has been completed. In order to model the problem more realistic, we assume that: (1) once the maintenance activity has been co...

We study a scheduling problem with deteriorating jobs, i.e., jobs whose processing times are an increasing function of their start times. We consider the case of a single machine and linear job-independent deterioration. The problem is to determine an optimal combination of the due date and schedule so as to minimize the sum of due-date, earliness and tardiness penalties. We give an O(n logn) t...

We study multitasking scheduling and due-window assignment problems in a single machine, which can be found various application domains. In environment, unfinished job always interrupts in-processing job. common due window assignment, the aim is to find optimal minimise value of earliness tardiness penalty. this paper, we two problems, where objective first problem earliness, tardiness, startin...

This paper considers single machine due-window assignment scheduling problems with position-dependent weights. Under the learning and deterioration effects of jobs processing times, our goal is to minimize weighted sum earliness-tardiness, starting time due-window, size, where weights only depends on their position in a sequence (i.e., weights). common (CONW), slack (SLKW) different (DIFW) assi...
