Abstract

This study treats the single-machine scheduling problem with a ?nite capacity input buffer. In this problem, each job is assigned to the machine at its release date and startedimmediately,or,is sent to the input buffer to wait for processing.The problem in this study is to ?nd a schedule that minimizes the required size of the input buffer. Its strong NP hardness will be shown ?rst and next, an integer programming formulation will be presented. Another integer programming formulation will also be derived for the special case when the sizes of the jobs are the same. Then, a simple heuristic algorithm will be proposed. Finally, the effectiveness of the formulations and the heuristic algorithm will be examined by numerical experiments.
