Abstract
This paper studies the stochastic single-machine scheduling problem with workload-dependent maintenance activities, in which the processing times of all jobs are independently subject to a common discrete distribution, and the aim is to find the optimal policy so as to minimize the expected total discounted holding cost. Based on the definition of Markov process, for each of the two cases with the discount rate being zero or a positive number, we present two dynamic programming algorithms to produce the optimal static policy and the optimal dynamic policy, respectively.
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.
