Chapter 14, Problem 27P

(a)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

The time that is required to complete all the five cars if the cars are processed in alphabetical order.

Concept Introduction:

The operation manager have to schedule the five cars for the repair and each of the car require the body works that is followed by the painting where the estimated time for the body work and painting are given.

(b)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

The sequence in which the cars should be processed to minimize the make span of the schedule and how long will that be.

Concept Introduction:

In order to minimize the makespan of the schedule, the sequence of SPT is to be followed. In other words, the schedule of the car that has the shortest processing time first, and this is followed by the next that has the shortest processing time and so on.

(c)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

The flow time of each car as per the schedule found in part b.

Concept Introduction:

In order to minimize the makespan of the schedule, the sequence of SPT is to be followed. In other words, the schedule of the car that has the shortest processing time first, and this is followed by the next that has the shortest processing time and so on.

(d)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the car d be ready if the owner of the card d arrive to pick up the car in 3 hours and if not how long will the owner be forced to wait.

The following set of seven jobs is to be processed through two work centers at George Heinrich's printing company. The sequence is first printing, then binding. Processing timeat each of the work centers is shown in the following table:                                                                        a) What is the optimal sequence for these jobs to be scheduled?b) Chart these jobs through the two work centers.c) What is the total length of time of this optimal solution?d) What is the idle time in the binding shop, given the optimal solution?e) How much would the binding machine's idle time be cut by splitting Job Z in half?
At the campus copy shop, six jobs have a rrived in the order shown (A, B, C, D, E, and F) at the beginning of the day (today, which is a workday). All of the jobs are due at varioustimes today. Your task is to evaluate four common sequencing rules.                                                      a) Sequence the jobs according to the following decision rules:FCFS, EDD, SPT, and LPT.b) For the FCFS sequence, compute the average completion (flow) time, average lateness, and average number of jobs in the system.c) For the EDD sequence, compute the average completion (flow) time, average lateness, and average number of jobs in the system.d) For the SPT sequence, compute the average completion (flow) time, average lateness, and average number of jobs in the system.                                                                                                                  e) For the LPT sequence, compute the average completion (flow)time, average lateness, and average number of jobs…
Eva, the owner of Eva's Second Time Around Wedding Dresses, currently has five dresses to be altered, shown in the order in which they arrived: Job VWX Y Z Processing Time (hrs) 7 1 9 3 5 Due (hrs from now) 5 1 4 2 3 If Eva uses the shortest processing time first (SPT) priority rule to schedule these jobs, what will be the average completion time?
