In this paper we consider n jobs and a number of machines in parallel. The machines are identical and subject to breakdown and repair. The number may therefore vary over time and is at time t equal to m ( t ). Preemptions are allowed. We consider three objectives, namely, the total completion time, ∑ C j , the makespan C max , and the maximum lateness L max . We study the conditions on m ( t ) under which various rules minimize the objective functions under consideration. We analyze cases when the jobs have deadlines to meet and when the jobs are subject to precedence constraints. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2004.
