Abstract

Single-machine due-window assignment scheduling with delivery times and variable processing times is investigated, where the variable processing time of a job means that the processing time is a function of its position in a sequence and its resource allocation. Currently, there are multiple optimization objectives for the due-window assignment problem, and there is a small amount of research on optimization problems where the window starting time, the rejected cost and the optimal scheduling are jointly required. The goal of this paper is to minimize the weighed sum of scheduling cost, resource consumption cost and outsourcing measure under the optional job outsourcing (rejection). Under two resource allocation models (i.e., linear and convex resource allocation models), the scheduling cost is the weighted sum of the number of early–tardy jobs, earliness–tardiness penalties and due-window starting time and size, where the weights are positional-dependent. The main contributions of this paper include the study and data simulation of single-machine scheduling with learning effects, delivery times and outsourcing cost. For the weighed sum of scheduling cost, resource consumption cost and outsourcing measure, we prove the polynomial solvability of the problem. Under the common and slack due-window assignments, through the theoretical analysis of the optimal solution, we reveal that four problems can be solved in O ( n 6 ) time, where n is the number of jobs.
