Published: January 2016

We consider a common due-window assignment scheduling problem jobs with variable job processing times on a single machine, where the processing time of a job is a function of its position in a sequence (i.e., learning effect) or its starting time (i.e., deteriorating effect). The problem is to determine the optimal due-windows, and the processing sequence simultaneously to minimize a cost function includes earliness, tardiness, the window location, window size, and weighted number of tardy jobs. We prove that the problem can be solved in polynomial time.

This article deals with common due-window assignment and single-machine scheduling with proportional-linear shortening processing times. Objective cost is a type of minmax, that is, the maximal cost among all processed jobs is minimized. Our goal is to determine an optimal schedule, the optimal starting time, and size of due-window that minimize the worst cost, which consist of four parts: earliness, tardiness, starting time and length of the due-window.

This article investigates the due-window assignment scheduling problem with setup times on a single machine, where setup times of jobs are past-sequence-dependent. Under common, slack and unrestricted due-window assignment methods, the goal is to determine the optimal job sequence and due-window such that the cost function (i.e.

This paper investigates single machine scheduling problems where the actual processing time of a job is dependent on its starting time, processing position and the amount of resource allocation. We present two unified models and provide a bicriteria analysis for the general scheduling criteria and the total weighted resource consumption. We consider two different versions for treating the two criteria and show that the unified models can be applied to solve scheduling problems under various due window assignment considerations.
