Chapter Chapter 14 in Scheduling with Time-Changing Effects and Rate-Modifying Activities, 2017, pp 291-315 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In most problems considered in Chap. 13 , a single machine is subject to a single compulsory maintenance, and the start time s of the compulsory maintenance period (CMP) and its duration $$\Delta $$ Δ are fixed. In this chapter, we also consider single machine scheduling problems with maintenance activities; however, now, the location of a maintenance period (MP) is less restrictive, and in fact, it is a decision variable so that its value may affect the objective function. Unless stated otherwise, in scheduling problems discussed in this chapter, the jobs of set $$N=\left\{ 1,2,\ldots ,n\right\} $$ N = 1 , 2 , … , n are to be processed on a single machine.
