Single machine scheduling to minimize total weighted late work

The objective is to find a sequence of jobs which minimizes the total late work, where the late work for a job is the amount of processing of this job that is performed after its due date. The non-preemptive total late work problem is shown to be NP-hard, although efficient algorithms are derived for the special cases in which all processing times are equal and in which all due dates are equal. A pseudopolynomial dynamic programming algorithm is presented for the general non-preemptive total late work problem. Computational results for problems with up to 10000 jobs are given.Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
