Abstract

We consider several serial batch scheduling problems with outsourcing allowed. Each job can be either processed on the in-house machine or outsourced. The objective is to minimize the weighted sum of the scheduling cost and the total outsourcing cost. We discuss three classical scheduling objective functions. The first is the total completion time, the second is the maximum lateness, and the third is the weighted number of late jobs. For each problem, we derive an efficient dynamic programming algorithm that minimizes the total cost.
