Abstract
We consider the problem of minimizing the makespan on a batch processing machine, in which jobs are not all compatible. Only compatible jobs can be included into the same batch. This relation of compatibility is represented by a split graph. All jobs are available at the same date. The capacity of the batch processing machine is finite or infinite. The processing time of a batch is given by the processing time of the longest job in the batch. We establish the NP-hardness of the general problem and present polynomial algorithms for several special cases.
