    Abstract

    In this paper an n-job one-machine scheduling problem is considered, in which the machine capacity is time-dependent and jobs are characterized by their work content. The objective is to minimize the sum of weighted completion times. A necessary optimality condition is presented and we discuss some special cases where this condition is also sufficient. We prove that the problem is NP-complete. A branch-and-bound algorithm is developed for the case when the capacity function is a step function. Computational results for 1000 test problems are presented.
