| Abstract: | Economies of scale are fundamental to manufacturing operations. With respect to scheduling, this phenomenon manifests itself in efficiencies gained from grouping similar jobs together. This paper reviews the rapidly growing literature on single-machine scheduling models that incorporate benefits fro job grouping. The authors focus on three basic models known as family scheduling with item availability, family scheduling with batch availability, and batch processing. The authors present known results and introduce new results. |
