Abstract

In this paper we present two algorithms for a machine allocation problem occurring in manufacturing systems. For the two algorithms presented we prove worst-case performance ratios of 2 and 3/2, respectively. The machine allocation problem we consider is a general convex resource allocation problem, which makes the algorithms applicable to a variety of resource allocation problems. Numerical results are presented for two real-life manufacturing systems.
