摘要

We study a single-machine scheduling problem with release times and deterioration effects, where the processing time of jobs are linear functions of their starting times minus release times and deterioration rates. The aim is to find a sequence with the objective function of minimizing the total completion time. To solve this NP-hard problem, some heuristic algorithms (including upper bound algorithm, Nawaz–Enscore–Ham (NEH) algorithm, NEH-enhanced simulated annealing algorithm, dual-phase simulated annealing) and a branch-and-bound algorithm are proposed. Experimental results are conducted to demonstrate the superiority of the heuristic algorithms and the branch-and-bound algorithm, which demonstrates that the branch-and-bound algorithm can solve random instances of 22 jobs within reasonable time and that dual-phase simulated annealing is more accurate than the other heuristic algorithms.
