Question

The following six jobs are to be scheduled on a single machine:

Job 1 2 3 4 5 6
Processing time (min.) 110 120 220 90 180 80

 

  1. Suppose the jobs are processed in FCFS numerical order. Compute the makespan, flow time for each job, and overall average flow time. Round your answers to the nearest whole number.

     

    Job Flow Time (min)
    1  
    2  
    3  
    4  
    5  
    6  

     

    Makespan: minutes

    Average flow time: minutes

  2. In what order would the jobs be processed using the SPT rule?

    The SPT sequence is - - - - - .

    Compute the average flow time after each job is completed. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

    Average flow time: minutes

    Compare this answer with your answer to part a.

    The minimizes flow time and gets the most work done in the least amount of time.

**Job Scheduling on a Single Machine**

The following six jobs are to be scheduled on a single machine:

- **Jobs (1 to 6)**
  - Processing Times (min):
    - Job 1: 110
    - Job 2: 120
    - Job 3: 220
    - Job 4: 90
    - Job 5: 180
    - Job 6: 80

**Part A: FCFS (First-Come, First-Served) Order**

Compute the makespan, flow time for each job, and overall average flow time. Round your answers to the nearest whole number.

- **Job Flow Time (min)**
  - Job 1: [Input field]
  - Job 2: [Input field]
  - Job 3: [Input field]
  - Job 4: [Input field]
  - Job 5: [Input field]
  - Job 6: [Input field]

- **Makespan**: [Input field] minutes
- **Average Flow Time**: [Input field] minutes

**Part B: SPT (Shortest Processing Time) Rule**

In what order would the jobs be processed using the SPT rule?

- **SPT Sequence**: [Dropdown selections for each job]
  
Compute the average flow time after each job is completed. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

- **Average Flow Time**: [Input field] minutes

Compare this answer with your answer to part A.

- [Dropdown selection] minimizes flow time and gets the most work done in the least amount of time.
