Abstract

This paper proposes mixed integer programming formulations for the unrelated parallel-machines scheduling problem with allowing machine idle times given the objective of minimising the total earliness and tardiness. Experiment and analysis are conducted to gain insight into the effect of allowing machine idle time to job schedule performance. Simple dispatching rules are applied for better solution efficiency. Experiment results show that allowing machine idle times can be better utilised with job due dates are loose and the dispatching rules are very competitive for efficiency and quality of solutions.
