Abstract
We study the design and production process of manufacturers who provide customers with personalized products. Each customer’s order needs to go through two stages: design and production. For this problem, we consider the two scheduling problems with the objective of minimizing the total weighted completion time. Then we consider two models of manufacturing at a personalized level. In the first model, personalized products have the same personalization level, which is proved to have an optimal solution. In the second model, we propose an approximate algorithm with an absolute worst-case ratio of no more than two for personalized products with arbitrary personalization levels, which is proved to be NP-hard in the strong sense.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
