Concept explainers
a)
To determine: Thesequence of jobs based on the decision rule, i.e, First Come First Served (FCFS).
Introduction: The First Come First Served is the
b)
To determine: The sequence of jobs based on the decision rule, i.e, Earliest Due Date (EDD).
Introduction: The Earliest Due Date is the scheduling rule, which helps to arrange the sequence in the order. Here, the job with the earliest due date would be served first. Then, the process would be go on from the earliest due date to the latest due date.
c)
To determine: The sequence of jobs based on the decision rule, i.e, Shortest Processing Time (SPT).
Introduction: The Shortest Processing Time is the scheduling rule, which helps to arrange the sequence in the order. Here, the job with the shortest duration is served first. Then, the process would be go on from the shortest to the largest duration.
d)
To determine: The sequence of jobs based on the decision rule, i.e, Longest Processing Time (LPT).
Introduction: The Largest Processing Tine is the scheduling rule, which helps to arrange the sequence in the order. Here, the job with the largest duration is served first. Then, the process would go on from the largest to the shortest duration.

- What is the answerarrow_forwardQ4 An arsenal has six tasks waiting to be processed and the processing time and due completion time for each task is shown in the table below. Assuming that the tasks given are in the order of the table: Mission A B CA D< E F Processing time (days)< 6 12< 14 24 10< 4 Due for completion (days)< 22< 14 30 184 25 34< Requirements 1. Sort the jobs according to the first come first served rule and the shortest processing time rule and calculate the average completion time, average number of jobs in the system, average delay time and equipment utilization respectively and explain which is the better sorting method.arrow_forwardQ#5: Determine take time of following (Remaining part) d) If a process has 28,000 seconds available to complete work per shift, and 800 pieces are required to meet customer demand, how often do you need to complete a piece to meet that demand?

- The unit of measure that is chosen for tracking schedule progress can affect the quality of the work. Question 16 options: True Falsearrow_forwardQuestion 2: A manager wants to assign tasks to workstations as efficiently as possible and achieve an hourly output of 28 units. Assume the shop works a 56-minute hour. Assign the tasks shown in the accompanying precedence diagram (times are in minutes) to workstations using the following rules: (SEE PHOTO) a. What is Cycle time? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) In order of most following tasks. Tiebreaker: greatest positional weight. (Use your rounded cycle time. Enter your tasks in the order they were assigned at each station as a letter between a and h in lowercase with no other text or symbols. Round your numerical answers to 1 decimal place.) What is Efficiency? (Use your rounded cycle time in the denominator of your efficiency calculation. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) b. In order of greatest positional weight. Tiebreaker: most following tasks. (Use your rounded cycle time.

Proper schedules use an organization's assets (1) more effectively, by serving customers promptly, and (2) more efficiently, by lowering costs. Hard Rock Cafe at Universal Studios, Orlando, is the world's largest restaurant, with 1,100 seats on two main levels. With typical turnover of employees in the restaurant industry at 80% to 100% per year, Hard Rock General Manager Ken Hoffman takes scheduling very seriously. Hoffman wants his 160 servers to be effective, but he also wants to treat them fairly. He has done so with scheduling software and flexibility that has in- creased productivity while contributing to turnover that is half the industry average. His goal is to find the fine balance that gives employees financially productive daily work shifts while setting the schedule tight…arrow_forward
