Abstract

A one machine job shop is considered. Associated with each job is its processing time and due date. There exists a subset of jobs which must be completed on time in any feasible schedule. A feasible sequencing of the jobs is sought which minimizes the number of late jobs.

An algorithm is stated, and proved optimal. In addition, the resulting optimal set is further characterized. A second optimal algorithm is also presented.
