A single machine scheduling problem is studied. There is a partition of the set of n jobs into g groups on the basis of group technology. Jobs of the same group are processed contiguously. A sequence independent setup time precedes the processing of each group. Two external renewable resources can be used to linearly compress setup and job processing times. The setup times are jointly compressible by one resource, the job processing times are jointly compressible by another resource and the level of the resource is the same for all setups and all jobs. Polynomial time algorithms are presented to find an optimal job sequence and resource values such that the total weighted resource consumption is minimum, subject to meeting job deadlines. The algorithms are based on solving linear programming problems with two variables by geometric techniques.
