V-Shaped Policies for Scheduling Deteriorating Jobs

Abstract: A set of N jobs has to be processed on a single machine. Jobs have the same basic processing time, but the actual processing time of each job grows linearly with its starting time. A (possibly) different rate of growth is associated with each job. We show that the optimal sequence to minimize flow time is V-shaped: Jobs are arranged in descending order of growth rate if they are placed before the minimal growth rate job, and in ascending order if placed after it. Efficient (0(N log N)) asymptotically optimal h… Show more

“…First studies about deterioration effect in scheduling problems were considered by Gupta and Gupta (1988) and Browne and Yechiali (1990). Some of other studies about scheduling problems under deterioration effect were investigated by Mosheiov (1991Mosheiov ( , 1995Mosheiov ( , 1998Mosheiov ( , 2002, Ng, Cheng, Bachman and Janiak (2002), Bachman, Janiak and Kovalyov (2002), Wang and Xia (2006), Wu and Lee (2008), Wang, Daniel, Cheng and Liu (2006), and Gawiejnowicz (2007).…”

“…Deteriorating jobs are tasks which need more time and more efforts to complete the process than when they are done earlier. and Mosheiov [2] were first introduced deteriorating jobs in the scheduling area. After a while, deteriorating jobs were getting more attention.…”

“…The latter varies over time and is the product of the job start time and a jobdependent deterioration index. The makespan minimization problem on a single machine is shown to be solved in polynomial time using a simple sorting rule; however, the total completion time counterpart remains open even when the basic processing times are assumed to be identical for all jobs (see Mosheiov, 1991). The second category of time-dependent processing time scheduling models addresses piece-wise linear job processing time functions.…”
