Abstract

We consider a variant of the job shop scheduling problem, which considers different operational states of the machines (such as off, ramp up, setup, processing, standby and ramp down) and time-dependent energy prices and aims at minimizing the energy consumption of the machines. We propose an integer programming formulation that uses binary variables to explicitly describe the non-operational periods of the machines and present a branch-and-price approach for its solution. Our computational experiments show that this approach outperforms the natural time-indexed formulation.
