Title
A comparison of branch-and-bound algorithms for a family scheduling problem with identical parallel machines
Abstract
This paper investigates branch-and-bound algorithms for the problem of scheduling jobs with family setups on identical parallel machines to minimize the weighted sum of completion times. In particular, we propose a new branching scheme that appears to substantially outperform current procedures in terms of computation time and search tree size.
