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.

- Allocate the tasks to workstations taking into consideration the precedence requirements and using the LOT rule to break ties between feasible tasks.arrow_forwardQuestion 7 Station 1 Machine A 20 min/unit Station 1 Machine B 20 min/unit Station 2 12 min/unit Station 3 8 min/unit A three station work cell is illustrated in the image above. A unit needs to be processed at either Machine A or Machine B for Station 1 (parallel lines, both lines doing the exact same thing). The unit is then processed at Stations 2 and 3 before leaving the work cell. What is the process time of this system measured in minutes/unit?arrow_forwardQuestion 32 The processing times of four jobs are given as follows: Job Processing time (minutes) A 10 B 30 C 16 D 24 Assume the jobs arrived in alphabetical order of the job name and no other job arrives in the next 70 minutes. What is the average flow time in minutes if the jobs are processed in shortest processing time (SOP) order? Group of answer choices 166 41.5 38 20.5arrow_forward
- QUESTION 5 (SCHEDULING: CYCLICAL SCHEDULING) 15.26 Daniel's Barber Shop at Newark Airport is open 7 days a week but has fluctuating demand. Daniel Ball is inter- ested in treating his barbers as well as he can with steady work and preferably 5 days of work with two consecutive days off. His analysis of his staffing needs resulted in the following plan. Schedule Daniel's staff with the minimum number of barbers. DAY MON. TUE. WED. THU. FRI. SAT. SUN. 6 5 5 5 6 4 3 Barbers neededarrow_forwardQuestion 9arrow_forwardWhat is the answerarrow_forward
- Q4 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_forwardQuestion3: Two processes are applied in the same order to the jobs coming to a workstation. The durations of both processes for the six jobs coming to the workstation are as seen in the table. In order to minimize the total time to be spent on the jobs, the order in which the jobs should be done will be determined by the "johnson" rule. Accordingly, in the table below, write the order in which the business should do the work, in order, with the first things to be done on the far left, and one action to be written in each blank.1-) When the jobs are done in this order, how many minutes will it take to complete all the jobs?2-)1. How many minutes of space will there be in total in the process and the 2nd process?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? Takt time = ?arrow_forward
- 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. Enter your tasks in the order they were assigned at each station as a letter between a and…arrow_forwardQuestion is attachedarrow_forward
