Scheduling jobs on identical parallel machines with unequal future ready time and sequence dependent setup: An experimental study

► Performances of ATC-based rules are studied for two types of sequence dependent setup. ► The modified WSPT terms of MATCSR and ATCSSR are significant. ► Using more scaling parameters in the index improves the quality of solution. ► MATCSR and ATCSSR are the best ATC-based rules to minimize TWT on parallel machines scheduling.
