Question

Urban Office LLC, a major office furniture manufacturer, and supplier, manufactures office tables
according to the customer requirements. They have a workshop facility where the table is
fabricated and a painting facility where the final finishing and painting of the table is done. The

priority rules. During a particular period, the company receives six different orders from six different
customers. The six orders with the respective processing time are listed in table 1. The orders
