A single commodity has to be sent from supply to demand nodes such that the total demand is satisfied and the time at which all units of the commodity have arrived at the demand nodes is minimized. We show that already the problem with a single demand node and a single auxiliary resource is NP-hard and consider some polynomially solvable special cases. |
