This paper considers identical parallel machine scheduling problem. Each job has a processing time. due date. weight and family type. If a different type of job is followed by prior job. a family setup is incurred. A two phased heuristic is presented for minimizing the sum of weighted tardiness. In the first phase. using roiling horizon technique. group each job into same family and schedule each family. In the second phase. assign each job to machines using schedule obtained in the first phase. Extensive computational experiments and comparisons among other algorithms are carried out to show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

We present a tabu search (TS) algorithm to minimize maximum lateness on a single machine in the presence of sequence dependent setup times and dynamic job arrivals. The TS algorithm starts with a feasible schedule generated by a modified ATCS (Apparent Tardiness Cost with Setups) rule, then through a series of search steps it improves the initial schedule. Results of extensive computational experiments show that the TS algorithm significantly outperforms a well-known RHP heuristic by Ovacik and Uzsoy, both on the solutions quality and the computation time. The performance advantage is particularly pronounced when there is high competition among jobs for machine capacity.
