Abstract
This research considers the problem of scheduling jobs on unrelated parallel machines with a common due date. The objective is to minimize the total absolute deviation of job completion times about the common due date. This problem is motivated by the fact that a certain phase of printed circuit board manufacturing and other production systems is bottleneck and the processing speeds of parallel machines in this phase are different for each job. A zero-one integer programming formulation is presented and two dominance properties are proved. By these dominance properties, it is shown that the problem is reduced to asymmetric assignment problem and is solvable in polynomial time.
