- What does it mean for a process to be "starved" according to the priority scheduling method? What are some ways that this may be avoided?arrow_forwardAllocate the tasks to workstations taking into consideration the precedence requirements and using the LOT rule to break ties between feasible tasks.arrow_forwardUsing the FCFS rule for scheduling, the sequence is ▼ 1-3-2 3-1-2 1-2-3 2-1-3 2-3-1 3-2-1 . Part 2 For the schedule developed using the FCFS rule, the total length of time taken to complete the three suits (including delivery) = enter your response here hours (enter your response as a whole number). Part 3 Using Johnson's rule for 2-machine scheduling, the sequence is ▼ 3-1-2 1-2-3 2-1-3 3-2-1 2-3-1 1-3-2 . Part 4 For the schedule developed using the Johnson's rule, the total length of time taken to complete the three suits (including delivery) = enter your response here hours (enter your response as a whole number). Part 5 Of the two developed schedules, ▼ Johnson's the FCFS rule gets the schedule finished sooner. ...

- The day when the order arrived, processing time, and promised due dates are given in the following table. The jobs are listed in the order of arrival. Develop separate schedules by using the FCFS and EDD rules. Compare the schedules on the basis of average flow time and average past due days. Make a comment.arrow_forwardTwo jobs must be processed through four machines in the same order. The processing times in the required sequence are (given) Determine how the two jobs should be scheduled in order to minimize the total makespan, and draw the Gantt chart indicating the optimal schedule.arrow_forwardRon Satter field's excavation company uses bothGantt scheduling charts and Gantt load charts.a) Today, which is the end of day 7, Ron is reviewing the Ganttchart depicting these schedules:• Job # 151 was scheduled to begin on day 3 and to ta ke6 days. As of now, it is I day ahead of schedule.• Job# 177 was scheduled to begin on day J and take 4 days.It is currently on time.• Job #1 79 was scheduled to start on day 7 and take 2 days. Itactually got started on day 6 and is progressing according toplan.• Job #211 was scheduled to begin on day 5, but missingequipment delayed it until day 6. It is progressing asexpected and should take 3 days.• Job #215 was scheduled to begin on day 4 and take 5 days.It got sta rted on time but has since fallen behind 2 days.Draw the Gantt scheduling chart for the activities described.b) Ron now wants to use a Ga ntt load chart to see how muchwork is scheduled in each of his three work teams: Able,Baker, and Charlie.

- . Assume the jobs displayed in Table 18.22 need to be processed on a single resource andare sequenced with the WSPT rule. Which job would be processed second?a. Ab. Bc. Cd. De. Earrow_forwardUsing 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.

- The Mowry Machine Shop still has five jobs to be processedas of 8 a.m. today (day 23) at its bottleneck operation. The daywhen the order arrived, processing time, and promised duedates are given in the following table. The jobs are listed inthe order of arrival.a. Develop separate schedules by using the FCFS and EDDrules. Compare the schedules on the basis of averageflow time and average days past due.b. Which rule gives the best schedule, in your judgment?Why?arrow_forwardEvan Schwartz has six jobs waiting to be processedthrough his machine. Processing time (in days) and duedate information for each job are as follows:Sequence the jobs by FCFS, SPT, SLACK, and DDATE.Calculate the mean flow time and mean tardiness of the sixjobs under each sequencing rule. Which rule would yourecommend?arrow_forwardUsing Johnson's rule for 2-machine scheduling, the sequence is: Scheduled Order Job 1 C 2 B 3 E 4 A 5 D 6 F For the schedule developed using Johnson's rule, the total length of time taken to complete the six jobs (including the 2nd operation) = nothing hours (enter your response as a whole number).arrow_forward
