A hybrid Lagrangean metaheuristic for single machine scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times and due dates

In this article, a hybrid Lagrangean metaheuristic is proposed for single machine scheduling problems with sequence-dependent setup times and due dates. The objective function considered throughout this work, is to minimize the total tardiness. Related works and taxonomies for hybrid metaheuristics are analyzed, through a thorough historical overview. The proposed hybrid Lagrangean metaheuristic is a … Read more

Analysis of mixed integer programming formulations for single machine scheduling problems with sequence dependent setup times and release dates

In this article, six different mixed integer programming (MIP) formulations are proposed and analyzed. These formulations are based on the knowledge of four different paradigms for single machine scheduling problems (SMSP) with sequence dependent setup times and release dates. Each formulation reflects a specific concept on how the variables and parameters are defined, requiring particular … Read more
