Abstract

In this paper we consider a single-machine scheduling problem with simple linear deterioration. By simple linear deterioration, we mean that the processing time of a job is a simple linear function of its execution starting time and its deterioration rate. The objective is to find a schedule that minimizes total absolute differences in waiting times. We show that the optimal schedule is V-shaped: jobs are arranged in descending order of their deterioration rates if they are placed before the job with the smallest deterioration rate, but in ascending order of their deterioration rates if placed after it. We prove other several properties of an optimal schedule, and introduce two efficient heuristic algorithms that are tested against a lower bound. We also provide computational results to evaluate the performance of the heuristic algorithms.
