Determination of the CDW to Minimize the Weighted Number of Early and Tardy Jobs;

The strongly NP-hard and polynomial time approximation scheme(PTAS) was proposed to minimize the weighted number of early and tardy jobs together with the window location penalty.

In order to eliminate hidden production and inventory problems which cause high costs, for example, waiting time, delivery time, extra labour costs, rework and order changes, manufacturers must consider scheduling problems involving not only the tardiness penalties, but also the early costs.

Taking the Dongqu Coalmine as the example, this paper introduces the causes and features of the formation of the collapsing column, analyzes on the influence of the collapsing column on the coal production, and puts forward some effective methods for the advanced detection of the collapsing column.

Hot rolling steel tube batch scheduling with earliness/tardiness penalties;

Fuzzy programming model has been established, which is then transformed into deterministic nonlinear programming model by using the algorithm of maximizing the membership function of middle value, and an effective genetic algorithm has presented to minimize the earliness/tardiness punish .

This paper is concerned with single machine problem about due window, the objective function concludes earliness/tardiness penalties and additional penalties.
