We study the approximability of four scheduling problems on identical parallel machines. In the late work minimization problem, the jobs have arbitrary processing times and a common due date, and the objective is to minimize the late work, defined as the sum of the portion of the jobs done after the due date. A related problem is the maximization of the early work, defined as the sum of the portion of the jobs done before the due date. We describe a polynomial time approximation scheme for the early work maximization problem, and we extended it to the late work minimization problem after shifting the objective function by a positive value that depends on the problem data. We also prove an inapproximability result for the latter problem if the objective function is shifted by a constant which does not depend on the input. These results remain valid even if the number of the jobs assigned to the same machine is bounded. This leads to an extension of our approximation scheme to two variants of the resource leveling problem with unit time jobs, for which no approximation algorithm is known. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V.
