Abstract

This paper considers scheduling n jobs on a single machine where the job processing times and due dates are independent random variables with arbitrary distribution functions. We consider the case that the weighted job tardiness in expectation is minimized. It is assumed that job’s due dates are compatible with processing times and weights. We show that the jobs should be sequenced in decreasing stochastic order of their due dates.
