Exact solutions for practical-size problems in job shop will be highly inefficient. Scheduling heuristics, therefore, are typically found in the literature. If we consider real-life situations such as machine breakdowns, the existing scheduling methods will be even more limited. Scheduling against due-dates addresses one of the most critical issues in modern manufacturing systems. In this paper, the method for weighted tardiness schedule using a graph theoretic decomposition heuristic is presented. It outstands the efficiency of computation as well as the robustness of the schedule.
