EPTAS for load balancing problem on parallel machines with a non-renewable resource

The problem considered is the non-preemptive scheduling of independent jobs that consume a resource (which is non-renewable and replenished regularly) on parallel uniformly related machines. The input defines the speed of machines, size of jobs, the quantity of the resource required by the jobs, the replenished quantities, and replenishment dates of the resource. Every job can start processing only after the required quantity of the resource is allocated to the job. The objective function is a generalization of makespan minimization and minimization of the $l_p$-norm of the vector of loads of the machines. We present an EPTAS for this problem. Prior to our work only a PTAS was known in this non-renewable resource settings only for the special case of our problem of makespan minimization on identical machines.
