Introduction:
b)
To determine: The dispatching rule that has the best score in flow time.
Introduction: Scheduling is the process of controlling and arranging the workloads of the production process using the optimized way. It is used to plan on allocating human resources and machinery.

- Question 34 Consider the processing times and priorities for four jobs: Job Processing time (minutes) Weight/Priority (cost per minute) A 10 6 B 2 1 C 50 2 D 16 10 Assume the weighted shortest processing time (WSPT) rule is used. Which job should be processed third? Group of answer choices A B C Darrow_forwardQuestion Three Processing times (including setup times), and due dates for five jobs waiting to be processed at a work center are given in the following table. By Using the SPT rule determine the following: The sequence of jobs The average flow time The average job tardiness The average number of jobs at the work center Job Processing Time (hours) Hour Due A 17 15 B 10 25 C 5 20 D 7 32 E 11 38arrow_forwardQuestion 4: Six jobs waiting at a workstation will be processed in order, starting with the one with the shortest break time. In the table below, the time elapsed since the arrival of the works, the time remaining to the delivery and the processing time are given. According to this, create the work order and fill in the data in the relevant table.(fill in the second table in the photos)a) What is the average delay time with the generated order?b) How many hours is the average flow time?c) How many jobs will be delayed?d) How many jobs will not be delayed?arrow_forward

The station sequences and job times in minutes are shown below, along with the due dates for each job. Using an "earliest due date" job dispatching priority rule, which, if any, of the jobs in will be late? Tip: create a Gantt chart schedule before answering Questions 4 & 5. a. Jobs 2 & 3 b.

- Question 5The management of CDC Construction Pioneers have decided to build 900 new apartments in the Kasoa area due to the influx of immigrant workers into the country. Two Architectural Companies have provided building plans and technical schematics for the project. Management are happy with the proposals of both Standard apartment and Deluxe apartment. After investigating the steps involved in construction, management determined that each apartment complex built will require some resources. Management analysed each of the bids and concluded that if the plans of Standard apartment are built, it requires 0.7 days in foundation works, 0.5 days in the masonry, 1 day in finishing, and 0.1 days in painting works. Deluxe apartment will require 1 day in foundation works, 0.83 days in the masonry, 0.67 days in finishing, and 0.25 days in the painting works. Management estimate that, 630 days for foundation works, 600 days for masonry, 708 days for finishing and 135 days for 11painting works…arrow_forwardQuestion3: Two processes are applied in the same order to the jobs coming to a workstation. The durations of both processes for the six jobs coming to the workstation are as seen in the table. In order to minimize the total time to be spent on the jobs, the order in which the jobs should be done will be determined by the "johnson" rule. Accordingly, in the table below, write the order in which the business should do the work, in order, with the first things to be done on the far left, and one action to be written in each blank.1-) When the jobs are done in this order, how many minutes will it take to complete all the jobs?2-)1. How many minutes of space will there be in total in the process and the 2nd process?arrow_forwardQuestion text Which of the following detail the exact manner in which any work is to be performed? a. Methods b. Procedures c. Programmes d. Purposearrow_forward
