Περίληψη: This paper considers the single machine total weighted tardiness problem. A thorough computational evaluation of new and existing dispatching rules is performed. We considered several existing heuristics and proposed new backward rules. These procedures are analyzed together for the first time and coded in the same programming language. We also created a new and much larger dataset, which allows a more detailed comparison and provides a useful benchmark for future work. We first conducted preliminary tests to determine appropriate parameter values and to choose between three versions of the new rules. These tests showed a need to use instance characteristics to make better choices. We then analyzed the heuristics and identified the non‐dominated procedures, considering solution quality and computational time. One of the new backward rules is non‐dominated, achieving the best solution quality. The non‐dominated set allows decision‐makers to choose a procedure depending on problem size and available time.
