Abstract

We consider the scheduling problem to minimize the total tardiness of a set of n jobs to be processed on a single machine which can perform only one job at a time. No preemption of jobs is allowed. Each job i has a release date ri, a processing time pi and a due date di. The objective is to find a schedule S which minimizes \( T(S) = \sum\nolimits_{{i = 1}}^{n} {{T_{i}}(S)} = \sum\nolimits_{{i = 1}}^{n} {\max ({C_{i}}(S) - {d_{{i,}}}0),} \), where T(S) is the total tardiness of schedule S, Ci(S) and Ti(S) are respectively the completion time and the tardiness of job i in schedule S.
