Abstract
AbstractIn this paper, we address the problem of scheduling jobs on identical machines for minimising the maximum completion time (makespan). Each job requires a sequence-independent setup time, which represents the time needed to prepare the machines for job execution. Then, we introduce a dynamic programme to solve the case with two machines, and show that this problem admits a fully polynomial time approximation scheme. For the case of m machines, we propose heuristics and an adapted genetic algorithm. Some numerical experiments are done to evaluate the proposed algorithms.Keywords: Schedulingpreemptionsetup timesmakespandynamic programmingFPTAS Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe authors confirm that the data supporting the findings of this study are available within the article.Notes1 mod(n,m) is the remainder of the Euclidean division of n by m.Additional informationNotes on contributorsAmina HanedAmina Haned received her PhD in mathematics at the University USTHB of Algiers.

期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Production Research (IJPR), published since 1961, is a well-established, highly successful and leading journal reporting manufacturing, production and operations management research.
IJPR is published 24 times a year and includes papers on innovation management, design of products, manufacturing processes, production and logistics systems. Production economics, the essential behaviour of production resources and systems as well as the complex decision problems that arise in design, management and control of production and logistics systems are considered.
IJPR is a journal for researchers and professors in mechanical engineering, industrial and systems engineering, operations research and management science, and business. It is also an informative reference for industrial managers looking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their production systems.
