What types of
- a. Hospital
- b. University
- c. Moviemaking
- d. Make-to-order factory
a)
To determine: The type of scheduling decision and the type of resources to be scheduled in the operations of a hospital.
Introduction:
Scheduling is the process of controlling and arranging the workloads of the production process using the optimized way. It is used to plan the allocating of human resources and machinery.
Explanation of Solution
Determine the type of scheduling decisions and the type of resources to be scheduled in the operations of hospital:
Use of operating rooms, special equipment, and shifts to the nurses in each department should be assigned using the scheduling process in the hospital. Special equipment includes lab, X-ray, EEG, and EKG.
b)
To determine: The type of scheduling decision and the type of resources to be scheduled in the operations of a university.
Introduction:
Scheduling is the process of controlling and arranging the workloads of the production process by the optimized way. It is used to plan the allocating of human resources and machinery.
Explanation of Solution
Determine the type of scheduling decisions and the type of resources to be scheduled in the operations of university:
The type of classes needed for each hour, faculty needed for each class, library services, registration, and counselling must be assigned with proper scheduling method.
c)
To determine: The type of scheduling decision and the type of resources to be scheduled in the operations of moviemaking.
Introduction:
Scheduling is the process of controlling and arranging the workloads of the production process using the optimized way. It is used to plan the allocating of human resources and machinery.
Explanation of Solution
Determine the type of scheduling decisions and the type of resources to be scheduled in the operations of moviemaking:
It is necessary to determine the kind of property, videographers, staff, actors, and actresses who are required for the movie to be scheduled and the sequence of scenes to be filmed.
d)
To determine: The type of scheduling decision and the type of resources to be scheduled in the operations of make-to-order factory.
Introduction:
Scheduling is the process of controlling and arranging the workloads of the production process using the optimized way. It is used to the plan allocation of human resources and machinery.
Explanation of Solution
Determine the type of scheduling decisions and the type of resources to be scheduled in the operations of make-to-order factory:
It is necessary to determine the kind of product to be produced and the equipment required to produce such products. The time and place to deliver the product should be assigned.

Construct a chart of the activities at the two centers, and determine each one’s idle time, assuming no other activities are involvedarrow_forwardAt Valley Hospital, nurses beginning a new shift report to a central area to receive their primary patient assignments. Not every nurse is as efficient as another with particular kinds of patients. Given the following patient roster, care levels, and time estimates, assign nurses to patients to op- timize efficiency.

- Alocal toy manufacturer is using a production line that runs 8 hours per day and produces a toy that requires a total of 7 tasks to be performied. The daily demand is 150 toys. Times of the tasks are 2.73, 2.01, 2.13, 2.0, 2.61, 2.71, and 2.95 minutes for A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, respectively. However, due to the nature of the product there are precedence rules that must be observed. Such that Task A does not need any predecessors; task B requires taskA to be completed. To start task Cand task D, each require task B to be completed. Task C must be completed prior to stating task E. Task F needs both task D and task Eto be completed. Finally, task G can start only once taskFis completed.What is the minimum number of workstations needed?arrow_forwardGive a brief explanation of five major process scheduling policy factors.arrow_forwardA local toy manufacturer is using a production line that runs 8 hours per day and produces a toy that requires a total of 7 tasks to be performed .
