Abstract

First this paper considers a Common Due Window (CDW) scheduling problem of n jobs on a single machine to minimize the sum of common weighted earliness and weighted number of tardy jobs when only one manufacturer processes these jobs. Two dynamic algorithms are designed for two cases respectively and each case is proved to be ordinary NP-hard. Successively the scenario, where two manufacturers jointly process these jobs due to the insufficient production facilities or techniques of each party, is investigated. A novel dynamic programming algorithm is proposed to obtain an existing reasonable set of processing utility distributions on the bi-partition of these jobs.
