Chapter 9.6, Problem 6P

A

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: The sequence of the trucks that should be unloaded so as to minimize the mean flow time is to be determined.

Concept Introduction: Under the mean flow time, the schedule to be defined will be the sum of time required for executing all tasks in the system.

B

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: The sequence of the trucks that should be unloaded so as to minimize the maximum lateness is to be determined.

Concept Introduction: The job sequencing process is the process in which the jobs are arranged in a particular order.

C

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: Based on the given information in the above problem, find out the sequence of the trucks that should be unloaded so as to minimize the number of tardy jobs.

Concept Introduction: The tardy jobs are those that result in delay in executing the related operations..

Using the SPT (shortest processing time) decision rule for sequencing the jobs, the order is (to resolve a tie, use the order in which the jobs were received): Sequence 1 Job The following jobs are waiting to be processed at Rick Solano's machine center. Solano's machine center has a relatively long backlog and sets a fresh schedule every 2 weeks, which does not disturb earlier schedules. Below are the jobs to be scheduled today, which is day 241 (day 241 is a work day). Job names refer to names of clients and contract numbers. Compute all times based on initiating work on day 241. 2 3 4 5 ... The total flow time for the sequence developed using the SPT rule = days (round your response to two decimal places). The percentage utilization for the sequence developed using the SPT rule = ☐ % (enter your response as a percentage rounded to two decimal places). The average number of jobs in the system for the sequence developed using the SPT rule = jobs (round your response to two decimal…
Seven jobs are to be processed through a single machine. The processing times and due dates are given here. (given) Determine the sequence of the jobs in order to minimizea. Mean flow time.b. Number of tardy jobs.c. Maximum lateness.d. What is the makespan for any sequence?
Five jobs must be scheduled for batch processing on a mainframe computer system. The processing times and the promised times for each of the jobs are listed here. (given) Assume that the current time is 10:00 A.M.a. If the jobs are scheduled according to SPT, find the tardiness of each job and the mean tardiness of all jobs.b. Repeat the calculation in part (a) for EDD scheduling.
