Abstract

The problem of sequencing n jobs on one processor is considered, under the additional assumption that jobs are not completed until delivered. A single worker does both the processing and delivery, and deliveries can take place in batches following the completion of any job. Several special cases of this general class of problems are motivated, formulated, and solved.
