The note deals with machine scheduling problems with a more general learning effect model, i.e., the actual job …. We show that some single machine scheduling problems are still polynomially solvable under the proposed model. We also … show that some special cases of the flow shop scheduling problems can be solved in polynomial time. …

Job learning and deterioration coexist in many realistic machine-job scheduling situations. However, in literature, the … constructed forms of the machine scheduling models with job learning and/or deteriorating effects were specific types of functions …, which constrained their applicability in practice. This paper introduces a new single-machine scheduling model, where the …
