In this paper, we consider scheduling problem with fuzzy due-dates on unrelated parallel processors. There are m processors and n jobs to be processed on these processors. A membership function is associated with each job, which describes the degree of satisfaction with respect to completion time of the job. The objective is to minimize the maximum completion time (makespan) and minimize the dissatisfaction with respect to completion times of jobs. We propose an efficient algorithm for this problem.
