Abstract

In this paper we study a single batch-processing machine scheduling model. In our model, a set of jobs having different release dates needs to be scheduled onto a single machine that can process a batch of jobs simultaneously at a time. Each batch incurs a fixed setup time and a fixed setup cost. The decision maker may reject some of the jobs by paying penalty cost so as to achieve a tight makespan, but the total rejection penalty cost is required to be no greater than a given value. Our model extends several existing batch-processing machine scheduling models in the literature. We present efficient approximation algorithms with near-linear-time complexities.
