Abstract

This paper considers the problem of optimal assignment of total-work-content due-dates to n jobs and of sequencing them on a single machine to minimize an objective function depending on the assigned due-date multiple value and maximum tardiness penalty. It is shown that both the earliest due-date and shortest processing time orders yield an optimal sequence. A simple analytical solution method is presented to find the optimal due-dates. After the theoretical treatment an illustrative example is presented for discussion.
