Description
Summary:We consider a single machine scheduling problem with uncertain durations of the given jobs. The objective function is minimizing the sum of the job completion times. We apply the stability approach to the considered uncertain scheduling problem using a relative perimeter of the optimality box as a stability measure of the optimal job permutation. We investigated properties of the optimality box and developed algorithms for constructing job permutations that have the largest relative perimeters of the optimality box. Computational results for constructing such permutations showed that they provided the average error less than 0 . 74 % for the solved uncertain problems.
