Motivated by applications in the computer and food catering service industries, we study an integrated scheduling model of production and distribution operations. In this model, a set of jobs (i.e., customer orders) are first processed in a processing facility (e.g., manufacturing plant or...

This paper considers the coordination of pricing and scheduling decisions in a make-to-order environment. Following common industry practice, we assume knowledge of a deterministic demand function that is nonincreasing in price. We consider three alternative measures of scheduling cost: total...
