This paper deals with multiple due windows assignment scheduling problems and controllable processing times on a single machine. We assume that the actual processing time of a job can be controlled by the introduction of additional resource and any due window is not allowed to contain another...

This paper considers a single-machine scheduling with a position-dependent aging effect described by a power function under maintenance activities and variable maintenance duration considerations simultaneously. We examine two models of the maintenance duration in this study. The objective is to...

Due-window assignment and production scheduling are important issues in operations management. In this study we investigate the problem of common due-window assignment and scheduling of deteriorating jobs and a maintenance activity simultaneously on a single-machine. We assume that the...

A single-machine scheduling problem with workload-dependent maintenance duration is considered. The objective is to minimize total completion time. For the case where the derivation of the maintenance duration function is greater than or equal to 1, a polynomial time optimal algorithm is...

This study addresses a two-stage flowshop with a batch machine in stage 1 and a discrete machine in stage 2, subject to the constraint that the input buffer of the discrete machine can only host limited number of jobs. The batch machine processes a batch of jobs simultaneously, and the discrete...
