TLDR
In this paper, the Smith-heuristic is used for the single-machine scheduling problem where the objective is to minimize the total weighted completion time subject to the constraint that the tradiness for any job does not exceed a predefined maximum allowable tardiness.
Abstract
This paper analyzes the Smith-heuristic for the single-machine scheduling problem where the objective is to minimize the total weighted completion time subject to the constraint that the tradiness for any job does not exceed a prespecified maximum allowable tardiness. We identify several cases of this problem for which the Smith-heuristic is guaranteed to lead to optimal solutions. We also provide a worst-case analysis of the Smith-heuristic; the analysis shows that the fractional increase in the objective function value for the Smith-heuristic from the optimal solution is unbounded in the worst case.
