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 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):

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

The total flow time for the sequence developed using the SPT rule = _____ days (round your response to two decimal places).

The percentage utilization for the sequence developed using the SPT 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 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).

The Whole Question ^

I'm really lost and not sure how to go about this question in the correct way. Needing some guidance.

Job Sequence 1 2 4 5 Job Sequence 1 2 4 5 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): . Sequence Job Job B D E Date Job Received 121 124 117 125 120 Due Date 190 210 185 215 220 Duration (days) 20 24 12 22 16 2 3 4 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 initiating work on day 130 5 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 2 3 4 5 The total flow time for the sequence developed using the SPT rule = days (round your response to two decimal places). The percentage utilization for the sequence developed using the SPT 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 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)
