Abstract:

This paper considers single machine scheduling with carbon emission cost and piece rate maintenance. A maintenance activity is required after processing a number of jobs. During the processing of jobs and maintenance activities, the corresponding carbon emissions will be generated. For both minimizing the maximum completion time and total completion time, we establish a scheduling model of minimizing the total cost of processing and carbon emission, respectively. It is shown that this problem can be transformed into an assignment problem and a polynomial time algorithm with time complexity of $O(n^4)$ is given.

Key words: carbon emission, piece-rate maintenance, scheduling, polynomial time algorithm
