Construction of cyclic schedules in presence of parallel machines

Abstract:
We consider the problem of processing some identical jobs with a complicated technological route on some production line in presence of parallel machines. Under some constraints on the number of jobs processed simultaneously, a cyclic schedule is desired with minimum cycle
duration. Some algorithm for construction of an exact solution is proposed and substantiated. Also, we found the case of pseudopolynomially solvable problem.
Illustr. 4, bibliogr. 16.

Keywords: cyclic schedule, dynamic programming, pseudopolynomial algorithm.
