a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Thesequence of jobs that are based on decision rule First Come First Served (FCFS).

Introduction: First Come First Served is the scheduling rule, which helps to arrange the sequence in the order. Here, the first come would be served first.

b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The sequence of jobs based on decision rule Shortest Processing Time (SPT).

Introduction: Shortest Processing Tine is the scheduling rule, which helps to arrange the sequence in the order. Here, job with the shortest duration would be served first. Then, the process would go  on from the shortest to largest duration.

c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The sequence of jobs based on decision rule Longest Processing Time (LPT).

Introduction: Largest Processing Tine is the scheduling rule, which helps to arrange the sequence in the order. Here, job with the largest duration would be served first. Then, the process would go on from the largest to shortest duration.

d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The sequence of jobs based on decision rule Earliest Due Date (EDD).

Introduction: Earliest Due Date is the scheduling rule, which helps to arrange the sequence in the order. Here, job with the earliest due date would be served first. Then, the process would go on from the earliest due date to latest due date.

e)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The sequence of jobs based on critical ratio.

Introduction: Critical ratio is kind of scheduling rule that helps to identify that, the task or job is on the correct track. It would help to identify if the task is behind or ahead of the schedule.

Using a 3-month weighted moving average with weights 0.5, 0.3, and 0.2 (most recent monthhaving the highest weight), calculate the forecast for month 13.   b. If the company applies an exponential smoothing method with a smoothing constant (α) = 0.2,and assumes an initial forecast of 120 units for Month 1, calculate the forecast for month 13.c. Calculate the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) for the exponential smoothing method andweighted moving average method using the actual sales data for Months 4 to 12 and determinewhich method is more accurate.       d. Compute the values of a (intercept) and b (slope) using the least squares method.e. Use the trend equation to forecast the demand for…
You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. An event hall that hosts public lectures, book readings, poetry slams, and other similar events uses a one-week periodic review inventory system for the throat lozenges that it stocks for its patrons. A two-day lead time is needed for any order, and the event hall is willing to tolerate an average of one stock-out per year. (a) Using the event hall's service guideline, what is the probability of a stock-out associated with each replenishment decision? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) What is the replenishment level if demand during the review period plus lead-time period is normally distributed with a mean of 50 units and a standard deviation of 12 units? (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) (c) What is the replenishment level if demand during the review period plus lead-time period is uniformly distributed between 45 and 95 units? (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)
