In many situations, the skills of workers continuously improve when repeating the same or similar tasks. This phenomenon is known as the “learning effect” in the literature. In most studies, the learning phenomenon is implemented by assuming the actual job processing time is a function of its scheduled position [D. Biskup, Single-machine scheduling with learning considerations, Eur. J. Oper. Res. 115 (1999) 173–178]. Recently, a new model is proposed where the actual job processing time depends on the sum of the processing times of jobs already processed [C. Koulamas, G.J. Kyparisis, Single-machine and two-machine flowshop scheduling with general learning functions, Eur. J. Oper. Res. 178 (2007) 402–407]. In this paper, we extend their models in which the actual job processing time not only depends on its scheduled position, but also depends on the sum of the processing times of jobs already processed. We then show that the single-machine makespan and the total completion time problems remain polynomially solvable under the proposed model. In addition, we show that the total weighted completion time has a polynomial optimal solution under certain agreeable solutions.
