Question: a ) Using the FCFS ( first come, first served ) decision rule for sequencing the jobs, the order is ( assume that jobs came

a) Using the FCFS (first come, first served ) decision rule for sequencing the jobs, the order is (assume that jobs came in
the order in which they are listed in the table):
The following jobs are waiting to be processed at the same machine center. Jobs are logged as they arrive:
All dates are specified as manufacturing planning calendar days. Assume that all jobs arrive on day 275. Assume
each job starts at the beginning of the day and finishes at the end of the day (a job that begins on day 275 and
takes 8 days will finish on day 282, and the next job begins in the morning of day 283). Compute all times based on
initiating work on day 275.
Using the FCFS (first come, first served ) decision rule for sequencing the jobs, the order is (assume that jobs came in the order in which they are listed in the table):
The average tardiness (job lateness) for the sequence developed using the FCFS rule is ___ days (round your response to two decimal places).The percentage utilization for the sequence developed using the FCFS rule is ___%(enter your response as a percentage rounded to two decimal places).
b) b) 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):
The average tardiness (job lateness) for the sequence developed using the EDD rule is ___ days (round your response to two decimal places).The percentage utilization for the sequence developed using the EDD
c) c) 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):
The average tardiness (job lateness) for the sequence developed using the SPT rule is ___ days (round your response to two decimal places).The percentage utilization for the sequence developed using the SPT rule is ___%(enter your response as a percentage rounded to two decimal places).
d) d) Using the LPT (longest processing time) decision rule for sequencing the jobs, the order is (to resolve a tie, use the order in which the jobs were received):
The average tardiness (job lateness) for the sequence developed using the LPT rule is ___ days (round your response to two decimal places).The percentage utilization for the sequence developed using the LPT rule is ___%(enter your response as a percentage rounded to two decimal places).
