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

Options for Sequences 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 are A, B, C, D, or E.

The following jobs are waiting to be processed at Julie Morel's machine center: a) Using the EDD (earliest due date) decision rule for sequencing the jobs, the order is (to resolve a tie, use the order in which the jobs were received): Date Job Job Received Due Date Sequence Job Duration (days) A 121 190 20 B 124 210 24 C 117 185 12 125 215 22 mo 120 220 16 All dates are according to shop calendar days. Today on the planning calendar is day 130, and none of the jobs have been started or scheduled. Compute all times based on 5 initiating work on day 130. The total flow time for the sequence developed using the EDD rule = days (round your response to two decimal places). The percentage utilization for the sequence developed using the EDD rule =% (enter your response as a percentage rounded to two decimal places). The average number of jobs in the system for the sequence developed using the EDD rule = jobs (round your response to two decimal places).The average tardiness [job lateness} for the sequence developed using the EDD rule = |: days (round your response to two decimal places). b] Using the SPT {shortest processing time} decision rule for sequencing the jobs, the order is [to resolve a tie, use the order in which the jobs were received): Sequence Job 1 L 2 L 3 L 4 L 5 L The total ow time for the sequence developed using he SPT rule = days (round your response to two decimal places). The percentage utilization for the sequence developed using the EFT rule = Dill; fenteryeur response as a percentage rounded to two decimal places). The average number of jobs in the system for the sequence developed using the SPT rule = jobs (round your response to two decimal places). The average tardiness (job lateness) for the sequence developed using the SPT rule = days (round your response to two decimal places).\f\f
