Decomposition and hybrid simulated annealing heuristics for the parallel‐machine total tardiness problem

Abstract

A polynomial decomposition heuristic is developed for the parallel‐machine tardiness problem (P&sol& sol;T) by extending the decomposition principle embedded in the single‐machine tardiness problem (1&sol/T) to a parallel‐machine setting. The subproblems generated by the decomposition are solved by an effective heuristic that yields solutions such that the schedule on any individual machine satisfies the single‐machine decomposition principle. A hybrid simulated annealing heuristic tailored to the P&sol/T problem is also presented. Computational results demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of the decomposition heuristic. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
