Abstract

We consider the problem of scheduling n jobs to minimize the total earliness and tardiness penalty. We review the literature on this topic, providing a framework to show how results have been generalized starting with a basic model that contains symmetric penalties, one machine and a common due date. To this base we add such features as parallel machines, complex penalty functions and distinct due dates. We also consolidate many of the existing results by proving general forms of two key properties of earliness/tardiness models.
