Abstract

We investigate the single-machine parallel-batch scheduling problem with nonidentical job sizes and rejection. In this problem, a set of jobs with different processing times and nonidentical sizes is given to be possibly processed on a parallel-batch processing machine. Each job is either accepted and then processed on the machine or rejected by paying its rejection penalty. Preemption is not allowed. Our task is to choose the accepted jobs and schedule them as batches on the machine to minimize the makespan of the accepted jobs plus the total rejection penalty of the rejected jobs. We provide an integer programming formulation to exactly solve our problem. Then, we propose three fast heuristic algorithms to solve the problem and evaluate their performances by using a small numerical example.
