Bi-Objective Optimization For A Single Batch Processing Machine, Leena Omar Ghrayeb

Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations

This research proposes a methodology for solving the problem of scheduling jobs with unequal ready times, unequal processing times, and unequal sizes on a single batch processing machine, with the objectives of minimizing makespan and maximum tardiness. Jobs must be placed into batches and scheduled on the machine such that both objectives are minimized, and machine capacity is not violated. The problem under study can be denoted as 1|p-batch, sj, rj| Cmax,Tmax. Based on a review of relevant literature, this problem has not been considered before.

The problem under study is NP-hard. Consequently, meta-heuristics such as Simulated Annealing (SA) and …
