Abstract : This study addresses the scheduling of a diffusion furnace, a Batch Processing Machine (BPM) with dynamic job-arrivals, and incompatible job-families with the objective of minimizing total weighted tardiness (TWT). Due to the computational intractability, a few variants, based on the EDD, CR, ST, and different versions of ATC dispatching rules, of a greedy heuristic method (GHM) are proposed. A series of computational experiments carried-out indicated that one of the variant of the ATC rule has excellent performance in comparison with an estimated optimal solution
