Consider the following information on job times and due dates (in hours). Job Job Time Due Date A 4.00 8.00 B 1.50 5.00 C 4.50 9.00 D 4.25 17.00 E 2.25 6.00 You are asked to determine the processing sequence using Shortest Processing Time (SPT) and Earliest Due Date (EDD) rule; and to decide which sequence is better for average job flow time and the average job tardiness performance measures. FORMAT FOR ENTRIES: • Sequence should be entered in the following format: D-E-B-C-A (with no spaces) • Values for performance measures will be entered with two decimals after dot (5.00) Enter the sequence using SPT rule: B-E-A-D-C For SPT sequence, provide the following performance measure values: Average job flow time: and Average job tardiness: . Enter the sequence using EDD rule: For EDD sequence, provide the following performance measure values: Average job flow time: and Average job tardiness: . Based on average job flow time, which sequence is better? (Enter SPT, EDD, EITHER): Based on average job tardiness, which sequence is better? (Enter SPT, EDD, EITHER)
