Abstract

This study investigates the worst-case performance guarantee of locally optimal solutions to minimize the total weighted completion time on uniformly related parallel machines. The investigated neighborhood structure is Jump, also called insertion or move. This research focused on establishing the local optimality condition expressed as an inequality and mapping that maps a schedule into an inner product space so that the norm of the mapping is closely related to the total weighted completion time of the schedule. We determine two new upper bounds for the performance guarantee, which take the form of an expression based on parameters that describe the family of instances: the speed of the fastest machine, the speed of the slowest machine, and the number of machines. These new bounds outperform the parametric upper bound previously established in the existing literature and enable a better understanding of the performance of the solutions obtained for the Jump neighborhood in this scheduling problem, according to parameters that describe the family of instances.
