a)
To determine: Thejob sequence, flow time, utilization metric, average number of jobs, and average lateness for EDD, SPT, LPT, and FCFS.
Introduction:
b)
To determine: The dispatching rule that has the best score in flow time.
Introduction: Scheduling is the process of controlling and arranging the workloads of the production process using the optimized way. It is used to plan on allocating human resources and machinery.

- Question four Three jobs are to be scheduled on two machines A and B. Assume that the jobs are processed in the sequence A-B (A has to finish the job before B can continue the job). The processing times are: Job A 1 4 2 7 7 3 3 Draw a Gantt chart that shows the schedule corresponding to the sequence 1-2-3 of the jobs.arrow_forwardQuestion 4: Six jobs waiting at a workstation will be processed in order, starting with the one with the shortest break time. In the table below, the time elapsed since the arrival of the works, the time remaining to the delivery and the processing time are given. According to this, create the work order and fill in the data in the relevant table.(fill in the second table in the photos)a) What is the average delay time with the generated order?b) How many hours is the average flow time?c) How many jobs will be delayed?d) How many jobs will not be delayed?arrow_forwardQuestion 3 Little’s LawA bank is processing job applications. Typical processing time for one application is 4 weeks. The bank can process 5 applications per week. The department is trying to improve efficiency by reduce the processing time to 2 weeks.
