Abstract
This paper considers single machine scheduling and due date assignment problems in which the jobs need to be delivered to customers after processing. It is assumed that the delivery times are proportional to the length of the already processed jobs, and a job's processing time depends on its position in a sequence. The objective functions include total earliness, the weighted number of tardy jobs and the cost of due date assignment. We analyze the problems with two different due date assignment methods and conclude that the problems are polynomial time solvable. We provide a dynamic programming algorithm with O(n3) times for the problems.
