Abstract
This paper investigates the scheduling problems of a single serialbatching machine with independent setup time and deteriorating job processing times With the assumption of deteriorating jobs the job processing times are described by an increasing function of their starting times All the jobs are first partitioned into serial batches and then processed on a single serialbatching machine Before each batch is processed an independent constant setup time is required Two optimization algorithms are proposed to solve the problems of minimizing the makespan and the total number of tardy jobs respectively Specifically for the problem of minimizing the total completion time two special cases with the smallest and the largest number of batches are studied and an optimization algorithm is also presented for the special case without setup timeWe would like to thank the editors and referees for their valuable comments and suggestions This work is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China Nos 71231004 71171071 71131002 and LATNA laboratory NRU HSE RF government grant ag 11G34310057
