a) Using the EDD (earliest due date) decision

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): At Morgan's Transformer Rebuilding, following jobs (below) are ready for dispatching to a work center. The processing times, date job received, and due dates for the jobs are given below. In what sequence would the jobs be ranked according to the decision rules on the left. Sequence Job 1 2 7 Job Processing (days) 18 3 7 Date Job Received 118 116 125 120 123 A B D E 4 Due Date 180 190 185 220 215 28 8 5 20 22 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). All dates are according to shop calendar days. Today on the manufacturing planning calendar is day 132. Compute all times based on initiating (starting) work on day 132. 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)
