Exact Approaches to Late Work Scheduling on Unrelated Machines

We consider the scheduling problem on unrelated parallel machines in order to minimize the total late work. Since the problem is NP-hard, we propose a mathematical model and two dedicated exact approaches for solving it, based on the branching and bounding strategy and on enumerating combined with a...

description We consider the scheduling problem on unrelated parallel machines in order to minimize the total late work. Since the problem is NP-hard, we propose a mathematical model and two dedicated exact approaches for solving it, based on the branching and bounding strategy and on enumerating combined with a dynamic programming algorithm. The time efficiencies of all three approaches are evaluated through computational experiments.
