Abstract:

In recent years, scheduling problems with maintenance periods have been attracting more and more researchers in the field of operational research. There are four types of maintenance period in the scheduling literature: fixed maintenance period, flexible maintenance period, floating maintenance period and rate-modifying maintenance period. At present, the vast majority of results have been arising about the scheduling problems with maintenance period, but there is no paper to summarize them. To be convenient for interested researchers, we make a summary about scheduling problems with maintenance period. In this paper, complexity results, exact algorithms and approximation algorithms in single machine, flow shop and open shop scheduling environment with different target are surveyed briefly.

Key words: scheduling problem, maintenance period, approximation algorithm, exact algorithm
