Chapter 16, Problem 8P
The following table shows orders to be processed at a machine shop as of 8:00 a.m. Monday. The jobs have different operations they must go through. Processing times are in days. Jobs are listed in order of arrival.
a. Determine the processing sequence at the first work center using each of these rules: (1) FCFS, (2) S/O.
b. Compute the effectiveness of each rule using each of these measures: (1) average flow time, (2) average number of jobs at the work center.

The SPT sequence is -Select---Select---Select---Select---Select- V -Select- V. Compute the average flow time after each job is completed. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Average flow time: minutes Compare this answer with your answer to part a.

- Using the information presented in the following table, identify the processing sequence that wouldresult using (1) FCFS, (2) SPT, (3) EDD, and (4) CR. For each method, determine (1) average jobflow time, (2) average job tardiness, and (3) average number of jobs in the system. Jobs are listedin order of arrival. (Hint: First determine the total job time for each job by computing the total processing time for the job and then adding in the setup time. All times and due dates are in hours.)JobProcessingTime per UnitUnitsper JobSetupTimeDueDatea .14 45 0.7 4b .25 14 0.5 10c .10 18 0.2 12d .25 40 1.0 20e .10 75 0.5 15arrow_forwardStation 1 Machine A 20 min/unit Note: Station 1 Machine B 20 min/unit Station 2 12 min/unit Station 1 Machine A Station 1 Machine B Station 2 Station 3 Station 3 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 process time of each machine/station is indicated in the flowchart. The unit is then processed at Stations 2 and 3 before leaving the work cell.
