Abstract:
Scheduling problems involving both earliness and tardiness costs became more important in recent years. This kind of problems include both earliness and tardiness penalties and tries to reduce them. In this study a case study from real world is investigated. Since the machine is bottle neck in the production line and all jobs have a common restrictive due date and different earliness and tardiness penalties, the problem is NPhard. In this study a discrete Genetic Algorithm (GA) is successfully implemented to find an optimum scheduling for the production line. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in finding near optimal solution.

Key words:  Earliness/tardiness, genetic algorithm, optimization, scheduling, single machine, ,
