Abstract

In this paper, we study the identical parallel machine scheduling problem with a planned maintenance period on each machine to minimize the sum of completion times. This paper is a first approach for this problem. We propose three exact methods to solve the problem at hand: mixed integer linear programming methods, a dynamic programming based method and a branch-and-bound method. Several constructive heuristics are proposed. A lower bound, dominance properties and two branching schemes for the branch-and-bound method are presented. Experimental results show that the methods can give satisfactory solutions.
