Answer to Problem 15P

The sequence is A-B-C-D-E.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The following information has been given below:

Job Due date Duration (days)
A 313 8
B 312 16
C 325 40
D 314 5
E 314 3

All the jobs have arrived on day 275.

Determine the sequence of the job by using FCFS:

Job Due date Duration (days) Flow time Start End Lateness
A 313 8 8 275 282
B 312 16 24 283 298
C 325 40 64 299 338 13
D 314 5 69 339 343 29
E 314 3 72 344 346 32
Total 72 237 74

Working note:

The duration and due date for the jobs has been given. The flow time is the cumulative value of the duration. The jobs arrival rate is given as 275.

End day of Job A:

The jobs arrival rate is given as 275. The end day is calculated by adding the start day with the value attained by subtracting 1 from the duration. Hence, the end day of Job A is 282.

End day of Job A=Start day+(Duration 1)=275+(81)=282

End day of Job B:

The start day of Job B is the next day of the end day of Job A. The end day is calculated by adding the start day with the value attained by subtracting 1 from the duration. Hence, the end day of Job B is 298.

End day of Job B=Start day+(Duration 1)=283+(161)=298

End day of Job C:

The start day of Job C is the next day of the end day of Job B. The end day is calculated by adding the start day with the value attained by subtracting 1 from the duration. Hence, the end day of Job C is 338.

End day of Job C=Start day+(Duration 1)=299+(401)=338

End day of Job D:

The start day of Job D is the next day of the end day of Job C. The end day is calculated by adding the start day with the value attained by subtracting 1 from the duration. Hence, the end day of Job D is 343.

End day of Job D=Start day+(Duration 1)=339+(51)=343

End day of Job E:

The start day of Job E is the next day of the end day of Job D. The end day is calculated by adding the start day with the value attained by subtracting 1 from the duration. Hence, the end day of Job E is 346.

End day of Job E=Start day+(Duration 1)=344+(31)=346

Lateness of Job A and Job B:

The end day of Job A and Job B is less than its respective due date. Hence, there is no lateness.

Lateness of Job C:

It is calculated by subtracting the end day of the job from the due date of the project. Hence, the lateness of Job C is 13.

Lateness of Job C=End dayDue date=338325=13

Lateness of Job D:

It is calculated by subtracting the end day of the job from the due date of the project. Hence, the lateness of Job D is 29.

Lateness of Job D=End dayDue date=343314=29

Lateness of Job E:

It is calculated by subtracting the end day of the job from the due date of the project. Hence, the lateness of Job E is 32.

Lateness of Job E=End dayDue date=346314=32

b)

Summary Introduction

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.

E 314 3 32 304 306
C 325 40 72 307 346 21
Total 72 173 21

Working note:

The duration and due date for the jobs have been given. The flow time is the cumulative value of the duration. The jobs arrival rate is given as 275. The job should be arranged based on the due date. The due date should be assembled in the ascending order.

End day of Job A:

The jobs arrival rate is given as 275. The end day is calculated by adding the start day with the value attained by subtracting 1 from the duration. Hence, the end day of Job A is 290.

End day of Job A=Start day+(Duration 1)=275+(161)=290

End day of Job B:

The start day of Job B is the next day of the end day of Job A. The end day is calculated by adding the start day with the value attained by subtracting 1 from the duration. Hence, the end day of Job B is 298.

End day of Job B=Start day+(Duration 1)=291+(81)=298

End day of Job C:

The start day of Job C is the next day of the end day of Job B. The end day is calculated by adding the start day with the value attained by subtracting 1 from the duration. Hence, the end day of Job C is 303.

End day of Job C=Start day+(Duration 1)=299+(51)=303

End day of Job D:

The start day of Job D is the next day of the end day of Job C. The end day is calculated by adding the start day with the value attained by subtracting 1 from the duration. Hence, the end day of Job D is 306.

End day of Job D=Start day+(Duration 1)=304+(31)=306

End day of Job E:

The start day of Job E is the next day of the end day of Job D. The end day is calculated by adding the start day with the value attained by subtracting 1 from the duration. Hence, the end day of Job E is 346.

End day of Job E=Start day+(Duration 1)=307+(401)=346

Lateness of Job A, Job B, Job C, and Job D is given below:

The end day of Job A, Job B, Job C, and Job dare less than its respective due date. Hence, there is no lateness.

Lateness of Job E:

It is calculated by subtracting the end day of the job from the due date of the project. Hence, the lateness of Job E is 21.

Lateness of Job E=End dayDue date=346325=21

The wedding date for a couple is quickly approaching, and the wedding planner must provide the caterer an estimate of how many people will attend the reception so that the appropriate quantity of food is prepared for the buffet. The following table contains information on the number of RSVP guests for the 145 invitations. Unfortunately, the number of guests does not always correspond to the number of RSVPed guests. Based on her experience, the wedding planner knows it is extremely rare for guests to attend a wedding if they notified that they will not be attending. Therefore, the wedding planner will assume that no one from these 50 invitations will attend. The wedding planner estimates that the each of the 25 guests planning to come solo has a 74% chance of attending alone, a 20% chance of not attending, and a 6% chance of bringing a companion. For each of the 60 RSVPs who plan to bring a companion, there is a 90% chance that they will attend with a companion, a 4% chance of attending…
