This paper considers the static single facility scheduling problem where the processing times of jobs are a monotonically increasing function of their starting (waiting) times and the objective is to minimize the total elapsed time (called themakespan) in which all jobs complete their processing. Based on the combinatorial analysis of the problem, an exact optimization algorithm is developed for the general processing time function which is then specialized for the linear case. In view of the excessive computational burden of the exact optimization algorithm for the nonlinear processing time functions, heuristic algorithms are proposed. The effectiveness of these proposed alogrithms is empirically evaluated and found to indicate that these heuristic algorithms yield optimal or near optimal schedules in many cases.
