Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a total weighted tardiness minimisation problem of single machine system with considering compulsory idle times of a machine (such as maintenance operations, etc.). Then, the problem is solved by using a variable restricted neighbourhood search approach. In this approach, an algorithm has been designed in which some special methods are used to produce and improve good initial solution. To represent our algorithm performance, 200 instances with small and medium sizes and 200 instances with large sizes are solved and their results have been achieved in favour of minimisation of weighted total tardiness. Furthermore, special relations operated based on a factor are used to produce instances and obtained results are investigated.
