Abstract

A GRASP algorithm was implemented in a common spreadsheet for single machine scheduling total weighted tardiness problem, and was tested with OR-Library instances. Results were compared with optimum or best known schedules for each instance, yielding less than 1% of difference in 93% of the cases, which results in an excellent tradeoff among results quality, computational effort and implementation easiness. Local search was performed on the post-optimization phase, based on dominancy rules, which yielded even better results with little implementation effort.
