Abstract

We consider scheduling a set of jobs on parallel processors, when all jobs have a common due date and earliness and lateness are penalized at different cost rates. For identical processors, the secondary criteria of minimizing makespan and machine occupancy are addressed. The extension to different, uniform processors is also solved.
