Customer As order is due in 4 days. We require 10

  1. Customer As order is due in 4 days. We require 10 hours of work to complete their order. How much slack (in hours) do we have for this order?

  2. What is the amount lost on the 5% discount if we use the "best" option of SPT, WSPT, and EDD?

Scheduling jobs HW1: Our company produces a line of high-end soaps, shampoos, lotions, and shaving gels. We sell these in bulk orders to gift shops, artist markets, salons and spas, as well as online. Some locations pay more for the product based on the total annual volume and other discounts We currently have orders from 5 retail partners for one of our most popular products. Assume we work 8 hours per day so a job due in 2 days is due in 16 working hours; a job due in 3 days is due in 24 working hours etc. Customer Units ordered Estimated time required Amount paid per unit B 1000 1200 4000 3000 1200 How many working days until it's due? 4 days 3 days 10 days 15 days 3 days 10 hours 12 hours 40 hours 30 hours 12 hours $3/unit $3.25/unit $2.85/unit $3.00/unit $3.20 / unit D E Consider how to best arrange the jobs on our schedule based on rules such as SPT, EDD, WSPT and the associated performance metrics. Rule Order of jobs Makespan Avg time in system Avg #jobs in system #late (and which ones?) SPT EDD WSPT Then answer this (this isn't something we did in class, see if you can figure it out with logic and business understanding) 1. If we offered a 5% discount on late orders, which of these rules would be best? (note: there may be a better schedule for this situation, but don't search for more right now. Just consider these 3 schedules you've already created.)
