Fabrication scheduling on a single machine to minimize the weighted sum of product completion time
In this paper, a fabrication scheduling problem concerning the production of components at a single manufacturing facility was studied, in which the manufactured components are subsequently assembled into a finite number of end products.Each product was assumed to comprise a common component to all jobs and a unique component to itself. Common operations were processed in batches and each batch required a setup time. A product is completed when both its two operations have been processed and are available. The optimality criterion considered was the minimization of weighted flow time. For this scheduling problem, the optimal schedules were described in a weignted shortest processing time first (WSPT) order and two algorithms were constructed corresponding to the batch availability and item availability, respectively.
