Description
Summary:•We study bi-criteria scheduling with limited machine availability.•Our goal is to minimize ∑Cj subject to the condition that Cmax  ≤ T.•We show the problem, Pm(t)|m(t + Δ) ≥ m(t) − 1, r − a, prmt|∑Cj/Cmax  ≤ T, 0 ≤ Δ < ce: paraid = "para0005" > is in P. This paper studies preemptive bi-criteria scheduling on m parallel machines with machine unavailable intervals. The goal is to minimize the total completion time subject to the constraint that the makespan is at most a constant T. We study the unavailability model such that the number of available machines cannot go down by 2 within any period of pmax  where pmax  is the maximum processing time among all jobs. We show that there is an optimal polynomial time algorithm.
