In this paper, the problem of minimizing maximum cost and makespan simultaneously on an unbounded parallel-batching machine is considered. An unbounded parallel-batching machine is a machine that can handle any number of jobs in a batch and the processing time of a batch is the largest...

We consider online scheduling of unit length jobs on m identical parallel-batch machines. Jobs arrive over time. The objective is to minimize maximum flow-time, with the flow-time of a job being the difference of its completion time and its release time. A parallel-batch machine can handle up to...

In the single machine scheduling problem with job delivery to minimize makespan, jobs are processed on a single machine and delivered by a capacitated vehicle to their respective customers. We first consider the special case with a single customer, that is, all jobs have the same transportation...

We consider a non-preemptive single machine scheduling problem with forbidden intervals. Associated with each job is a given processing time and a delivery time to its customer, when the processing of the job is complete. The objective is to minimize the time taken for all the jobs to be...

In this paper, we consider the rescheduling problem for jobs on a single machine with release dates to minimize total sequence disruption under a limit on the makespan. We show that the considered problem can be solved in polynomial time. Consequently, the rescheduling problem for jobs on a...
