  ABSTRACT: This paper presents a simulated annealing algorithm to minimize makespan of single machine scheduling problem with uniform parallel machines. The single machine scheduling problem with uniform parallel machines consists of n jobs, each with single operation, which are to be scheduled on m parallel machines with different speeds. Since, this scheduling problem is a combinatorial problem; usage of a heuristic is inevitable to obtain the solution in polynomial time. In this paper, simulated annealing algorithm is presented. In the first phase, a seed generation algorithm is given. Then, it is followed by three variations of the simulated annealing algorithms and their comparison using ANOVA in terms of their solutions on makespan.
