Abstract

Order scheduling models can be described as follows: A machine environment with a number of non-identical machines in parallel can produce a fixed variety of different products. Any one machine can process a given set of the different product types. If it can process only one type of product it is referred to as a dedicated machine, otherwise it is referred to as a flexible machine. A flexible machine may be subject to a setup when it switches from one product type to another product type. Each product type has certain specific processing requirements on the various machines. There are n customers, each one sending in one order. An order requests specific quantities of the various different products and has a release date as well as a due date (committed shipping date). After the processing of all the different products for an order has been completed, the order can be shipped to the customer. This paper is organised as follows. We first introduce a notation for this class of models. We then focus on various different conditions on the machine environment as well as on several objective functions, including the total weighted completion time, the maximum lateness, the number of orders shipped late, and so on. We present polynomial time algorithms for the easier problems, complexity proofs for NP-hard problems and worst case performance analyses as well as empirical analyses of heuristics.
