Abstract

In most problems considered in Chap. 13, a single machine is subject to a single compulsory maintenance, and the start time s of the compulsory maintenance period (CMP) and its duration \(\Delta \) are fixed. In this chapter, we also consider single machine scheduling problems with maintenance activities; however, now, the location of a maintenance period (MP) is less restrictive, and in fact, it is a decision variable so that its value may affect the objective function. Unless stated otherwise, in scheduling problems discussed in this chapter, the jobs of set \(N=\left\{ 1,2,\ldots ,n\right\} \) are to be processed on a single machine.
