A defense contractor in Dallas has six jobs awaiting processing

Problem 4

A defense contractor in Dallas has six jobs awaiting processing. Processing time and due dates are given in the table. Assume that jobs arrive in the order shown.

a) Determine the schedule for the jobs by using (a) the Earliest Due Date (EDD) rule and (b) the Shortest Processing Time (SPT) rule. 

b) For both EDD & SPT, calculate the average flow time, average lateness. Which sequence company should follow as per you?


Hint
ManagementEDD is the Earliest Due Date. Also, the EDD sequencing rule is that the jobs are processed according to the due date, which is earliest due date first. It is completed before the due date under the EDD rule. Now, the average flow time is 13.98 days along with the average lateness is -1.22 days. ...
