Abstract

In this paper, we consider the problem of simultaneous determination of optimal due dates and optimal schedule for the single machine problem with multiple common due dates. The penalty for a job is assumed to be a linear function of the due date and the earliness/tardiness for the job. The objective function is to minimize the total penalty for all jobs. We show that with the introduction of learning to job processing times the problem remains polynomially solvable for a given number of multiple common due dates.
