Abstract

Recently, deteriorating job scheduling problems have received increasing attention. However, the majority of the research assumes that the actual job processing time is a function of its starting time. In this note, we develop a new deterioration model where the actual job processing time is a function of jobs already processed. We show that the single-machine makespan problem remains polynomially solvable under the proposed model.
