a. Develop separate schedules by using the FCFS and EDD rules. Compare the schedules on the basis of average flow tie and average days past due.

Using the FCFS (first come, first served) decision rule for sequencing the customers, the order is:

Sequence	1	2	3	4	5
Customer

Using the EDD (earliest due date) decision rule for sequencing the customers, the order is (to resolve a tie, use the order in which the jobs were received):

Sequence	1	2	3	4	5
Customer

The average flow time and average days past due for each option are:

Rule	Average Flow Time	Average Days Past Due
EDD
FCFS

b. On the basis of average flow time, which rule gives the best schedule? EDD or FCFS

On the basis of average days past due, which rule give the best schedule? EDD or FCFS
