Chapter 16, Problem 18P

a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: 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 be going on from earliest due date to latest due date..

b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The average job tardiness for the sequence determined using 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 be going on from earliest due date to latest due date.

c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The average number of jobs for the sequence determined using 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 be going on from earliest due date to latest due date.

d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the SPT would have better result in terms of job tardiness than EDD.

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 be going on from shortest to largest duration.

If the 13th unit processed requires 87.00 minutes and the 26th unit requires 64.00 minutes, how much time would you estimate the 50th unit requires? (round to nearest whole number) Group of answer choices 35 minutes 48 minutes 18 minutes 55 minutes 40 minutes
Using the FCFS (first come, first served) decision rule for sequencing the jobs, the order is: Sequence 1 2 3 4 The total flow time for the sequence developed using the FCFS rule = decimal places). 5 The percentage utilization for the sequence developed using the FCFS rule = rounded to two decimal places). The average number of jobs in the system for the sequence developed using the FCFS rule = response to two decimal places). TL- The average tardiness (job lateness) for the sequence developed using the FCFS rule = to two decimal places). FALL:LL- /: I------ h Job Sequence 1 Using the EDD (earliest due date) decision rule for sequencing the jobs, the order is (to resolve a tie, use the order in which the jobs were received): 2 3 4 days (round your response to two 5 The total flow time for the sequence developed using the EDD rule = decimal places). % (enter your response as a percentage Job The average number of jobs in the system for the sequence developed using the EDD rule =…
An architect has five projects to complete. She estimates that three of the projects willrequire one week to complete and the other two will require three weeks and four weeks.During the time these projects are completed (and assuming no other projects areworked on during this time), what is the architect’s flow rate (projects per week)?
