Minimizing the number of late jobs on parallel machines with alpha time windows. In proceedings of the 6th Multidisciplinary International Conference on Scheduling : Theory and Applications (MISTA 2013), 27 - 30 Aug 2013, Ghent, Belgium, pages 206-217, 2013.
Paper
We consider the problem of minimization the number of late jobs on parallel machines in presence of ? time windows (di = ri + pi + ? for all jobs). We prove the NPcompletenessofthisproblemevenwhen m = 2 and di = d foralljobs.Wedevelopalower bound by solving a minimum cost ?ow problem associated to a relaxation of the problem. Asetofheuristicsarepresentedtominimizethenumberoflatejobsbasedonajob-focused andmachine-focusedapproach.Asimulationexperimentisrealizedtotesttheeffectiveness ofheuristicsregardingthelowerbound.Thissimulationhasbeencomputedfor1,2,5,10,15 and 20 machines and it shows that the best heuristic has an average deviation to the bound of 4.88%, 6.35%, 7.38%, 7.5%, 7.87% and 7.64% respectively. Keywords Parallel machines scheduling, number of late jobs, ? time windows, lower bound
