Exam 16: Scheduling

Primary considerations in scheduling high-volume systems involve: (I) coordinating the flow of inputs (II) overcoming the disruptions to planned outputs (III) assigning workers to work centers

What is the optimum sequence (first car to last)?

Given the following information concerning jobs awaiting processing at a single work center, what processing sequence will result if the critical ratio (CR) rule is used?

If he uses the shortest processing time first (SPT) priority rule to schedule these jobs, what will be the average completion time?

For the optimal schedule, what is the total number of hours it will take these consultants to complete these projects?

Scheduling pertains to:

The scheduling sequencing rule which always results in the lowest average completion (flow) time is the:

If he uses the shortest processing time first (SPT) priority rule to schedule these jobs, what will be the average job tardiness?

Priority rules generally assume that job setup cost is independent of processing sequence of jobs.

Given the information below, determine the following: (A) Processing sequence using (1) SPT and (2) EDD. (B) Average completion time and average job tardiness using (1) SPT and (2) EDD.

The assignment method is limited to a maximum of two jobs per resource.

A schedule chart can be used to monitor job progress.

Scheduling in service systems may involve scheduling:

The two different approaches to load work centers in job-shop scheduling are:

The priority rule which will sequence jobs in the order they are received is _________.

If Eva uses the first come, first served (FCFS) priority rule to schedule these jobs, what will be the average completion time?

Johnson's rule is a technique used to sequence jobs through a two-step work sequence.

Line balancing is a major factor in the design and scheduling of low volume systems because of batch processing.

Batch process helps maximize worker efficiency.

One disadvantage of appointment systems is:
