Parallel machine scheduling with a deteriorating maintenance activity and total absolute differences penalties

In this paper we consider identical parallel machines scheduling problems with a deteriorating maintenance activity. In this model, each machine has a deteriorating maintenance activity, that is, delaying the maintenance increases the time required to perform it. We need to make a decision on when to schedule the rate-modifying activities and the sequence of jobs to minimize some objective function. We concentrate on two goals separately, namely, minimizing the total absolute differences in completion times (TADC) and the total absolute differences in waiting times (TADW). We show that the problems remain polynomially solvable under the proposed model.
