Abstract

We consider the problem of scheduling family jobs with release dates on a bounded batching machine to minimize the makespan. A polynomial-time approximation scheme for the identical job size model and an approximation algorithm with a worst-case ratio of frac(5, 2) for the non-identical job size model will be derived.
