Abstract

The scheduling problem with deteriorating jobs to minimize the makespan on a single machine where the facility has an availability constraint is studied in this paper. By a deteriorating job we mean that the processing time for the job is a function of its starting time. Even with the introduction of the availability to a facility, the linear deteriorating model can be solved using the 0-1 integer programming technique if the actual job processing time is proportional to the starting time.
