I found many variants of the Job Shop Problem, but not the following one, and it looks like pretty useful in pratical scenarios
- given a timespan (one year for example)
- n machines
- the structure of the job (machine, duration), but NOT the amount of jobs.
the goal is to produce a scheduling which maximizes the amount of jobs i can execute in the assigned timespan. I think it's a pretty common situation in which i want to create a scheduling to maximize the production. Unfortunately i cannot figure out how to model the problem, An example, a literature reference or a direction towards i can investigate further would be much appreciated.
