We propose an approximate dynamic programming approach for an energy-efficient unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem. In this scheduling problem, jobs arrive at the system randomly, and each job's ready and processing times become available when an order is placed.
Therefore, we consider the online version of the problem.
Our objective is to minimize a combination of makespan and the total energy costs. The energy costs include cost of energy consumption of machines for switching on, processing, and idleness. We propose a binary program to solve the optimization problem at each stage of the approximate dynamic program.
