Abstract

We study a discrete problem of scheduling activities of three types under the constraintthat at most a single activity can be scheduled to any one period. Applications of such amodel are the scheduling of maintenance service to machines and multi‐item replenishmentof stock. We assume that the cost associated with any given type of activity increases linearlywith the number of periods since the last execution of this type. The problem is to specifyat which periods to execute each of the activity types in order to minimize the long‐runaverage cost per period. We analyze various forms of optimal solution which may occur,relating them to the combination of the three machine cost constants. Some cases remainunsolved by this method and for these we develop a heuristic whose worst case performanceis no more than 3.33% from the optimal. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 1999
