The aim of this study is to create an efficient scheduling tool for the company which minimizes lateness (earliness and tardiness) in the system and reduces the buffer stock caused by the lateness. A mathematical model is developed for the problem and optimal results are obtained for the small-sized instances. As the studied problem is NP-hard three heuristic algorithms are also proposed to solve larger instances. The performance of the proposed algorithms is evaluated with a detailed computational experiment. Furthermore a user-friendly decision support system (DSS) is developed using Excel VBA interface and proposed solution approaches are embedded in the DSS. The developed DSS enables users to make an efficient scheduling in very short computational time and provides the results with detailed schedule reports and Gantt charts. As this problem can be faced in various industrial areas the proposed solution approaches can also be applied to different sectors and factories. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.
