Abstract
- This paper considers the single batch-processing machine scheduling problem with aging effect and multi-maintenance activity concept. Real processing time of jobs increases due to machine's aging effect. Maintenance time is constant and the machine returns to its initial condition after each maintenance activity and the aging effect starts anew. Our scheduling problem is under assumptions: non identical job sizes and dynamic job arrivals. We have to determine jointly (1) the maintenance frequencies, (2) the position of the maintenance activities on the machine, (3) the grouping of the jobs into the batches, and (4) the sequence of the batches on the machine, to minimize makespan. At first, we formulate the problem as a mathematical model. Since this problem has been proved to be NP-hard; therefore, a heuristic and two meta-heuristic algorithms are offered for the real-sized problems. The performance of the proposed algorithms is analyzed on the various test problems based on the considered measures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
