In the early stage of processing a given set of similar jobs, a worker is not familiar with the operations, so his learning effect on the jobs scheduled early is not apparent. On the other hand, when the worker has gained experience in processing the jobs his learning improves. So a worker's learning effect on a job depends not only on the total processing time of the jobs that he has processed but also on the job position. In this paper we introduce a position-weighted learning effect model for scheduling problems. We provide optimal solutions for the single-machine problems to minimize the makespan and the total completion time, and an optimal solution for the single-machine problem to minimize the total tardiness under an agreeable situation. We also consider two special cases of the flowshop problem. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10397/33871 | ISSN: | 1862-4472 | EISSN: | 1862-4480 | DOI: | 10.1007/s11590-012-0574-5 |
