Abstract: In the paper, single machine scheduling problems with a learning effect and a rate-modifying activity are considered. Under the learning effect, the processing time of a job is a decreasing function of its position in the sequence. The rate-modifying activity is an event that can change the speed of the machine, and hence the processing time of jobs after the activity. The following objective functions are considered: the makespan, the total earliness, tardiness and completion time penalty, and the total earliness, tardiness, due-window starting time and due-window size penalty. Polynomial time algorithms are proposed to optimally solve the problems.
