Abstract
We investigate a combined approach for job scheduling on parallel machines and the location of machines referred to in the literature as ScheLoc. We sum up the up-to-date achievements and propose a general classification of such a two-part problem involving different solving methods. A sequential approach requires both parts’ successive consideration, unlike the joint proposal with their simultaneous investigation. The uncertain version is also proposed, aiming to replace the two-part deterministic problem with a single counterpart with interval release dates of jobs. The mentioned solution approaches are illustrated by specific job scheduling and machine location sub-problems.
