SINGLE MACHINE DUE DATE ASSIGNMENT SCHEDULING PROBLEM WITH PRECEDENCE CONSTRAINTS AND CONTROLLABLE PROCESSING TIMES IN FUZZY ENVIRONMENT

In this paper, a due date assignment scheduling problem with precedence constraints and controllable processing times in uncertain environment is investigated, in which the basic processing time of each job is assumed to be the symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy number, and the linear resource consumption function is used.The objective is to minimize the crisp possibilistic mean (or expected) value of a cost function thatincludes the costs of earliness, tardiness, makespan and resource consumption jointly by scheduling the jobs under precedence constraints and determining the due date and the resource allocation amount satisfying resource constraints for each job. First, the problem is shown to be NP-hard. Furthermore, an optimal algorithm with polynomial time for the special case of this problem is put forward. Moreover, an efficient ۲-approximation algorithm is presented based on solving the relaxation of the problem. Finally, the numerical experiment is given, whose results show that our method is promising.
