Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 工業管理系 === 89 === In the paper, we consider a two-parallel-machine problem where one machine is not available during a time period. The unavailable time period is fixed and known in advance. A machine is not available probably because it needs preventive maintenance or periodical repair. The objective of the problem is to minimize the makespan. For both nonresumable and resumable cases, we partition the problem into four sub-problems, each of which is solved optimally by an algorithm. Although all the algorithms have exponential time complexity, they are quite efficient in solving large-sized problems.
