Concept explainers
a)
To determine: Sequence of jobs based on decision rule Earliest Due Date (EDD).
Introduction: Earliest Due Date is the
b)
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)
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)
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 jobs displayed in Table 18.20 are processed using the earliest-due-date rule, whatwould be the tardiness of job D?arrow_forwardCalculate the Critical Ratios (CR): (Enter all responses rounded to two decimal places.) The following jobs are waiting to be processed at Jeremy LaMontagne's machine center. Today is day 245. Job Date Job Received Due Date Duration (days) 1 215 300 30 2 230 310 25 3 228 290 35 4 235 305 40 5 245 315 45arrow_forwardGiven the jobs displayed in Table 18.17, if SPT is used to sequence the jobs, what is theflow time of job F (in minutes)?arrow_forward
- In Human Resources and Job Design Labor Standards, suppose that the allowance factor for a job is 0.5 and the normal time is 5 hours. What is the standard time? O 5 hours O 2.5 hours O 10 hours O 7.5 hours O cannot determine with the given informationarrow_forward9. If the jobs displayed in Table 18.20 are processed using the earliest-due-date rule, whatwould be the lateness of job C?arrow_forwardCurrently a company that designs Web sites has six customers in its backlog. The time since the order arrived, processing time, and promised due dates are given in the following table. Job Time Since Order Arrived (days ago) Processing Time (days) Due Date (days from now) A 6 18 48 B 4 22 52 C 1 30 70 D 10 14 28 E 7 12 56 F 5 20 62 Develop a schedule by using the first-come, first-served (FCFS) rule and calculate the average flow time and average days past due for the schedule. Develop a schedule by using the earliest due date (EDD) rule and calculate the average flow time and average days past due for the schedule. Comment on the performance of the FCFS and EDD rules relative to average flow time and average days past due.arrow_forward
- Given the projects displayed in Table 18.21, if SPT is used to sequence the jobs, what isthe average flow time of the projects (in hours)?arrow_forwardUse the FCFS rule. What is the average flow time and average tardiness? Job time Due Date (days) Job (days) A 12 10 В 10 16 6. 14 D 8 18 O 23.5, 10.5 24.5, 10 O 26.5, 11 O 27, 13arrow_forwardHow do i find how many customers can be served per hour?arrow_forward
- Inna is an hourly worker whose employer uses the hundredth-hour method. During a one-week period, she worked the following hours: In Day Monday Tuesday 8:09 7:48 Wednesday 8:03 Thursday 7:56 Friday 7:58 Multiple Choice 39.90 hours 39.87 hours Using the hundredth-hour method, how many hours did she work that week? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round final answer to two decimal places.) 40.03 hours Out 12:02 11:55 12:22 12:14 12:02 40.18 hours In 1:07 12:54 1:20 1:26 1:07 Out 5:17 5:01 5:12 4:59 4:55arrow_forwardThe normal time for a work cycle in a worker–machine system is 6.27 min. For setting the standard time, the PFD allowance factor is 12% and the machine allowance factor is 25%.The work cycle includes manual elements totaling a normal time of 5.92 min, all but 0.65 min of which are performed as internal elements. Determine (a) the standard time for the cycle and (b) the daily output at standard performance. (c) During an 8-hour shift, theworker lost 39 min due to personal time, rest breaks, and delays, and she produced 72 pieces. What was the worker’s pace on the operator-controlled portion of the shift?arrow_forwardSo how to calculate the following below: Avg. lateness = ? days Avg. completion time = ?? days Avg. number of jobs in the system = ? jobsarrow_forward
