In this paper we develop a tabu search-based solution procedure designed specifically for a certain class of single-machine scheduling problems with a non-regular performance measure. The performance of the developed algorithm is tested for solving the variance minimization problem. Problems from the literature are used to test the performance of the algorithm. This algorithm can be used for solving other problems such as minimizing completion time deviation from a common due date.
