Sequence the jobs shown below by using a Gantt chart. Assume that the move time between machines is one hour. (i.e.- When a job is complete on its first workstation, it must wait 1 hour (move time) before it begins on the next station)
Example of Move Time
Machine A 111
Machine B
11111
Sequence the jobs in priority order 1,2,3,4. Assume 8hr work days.
Job Work Center/Machine Hours Due Date (Days)
1 A/3, B/2, C/23
2 C/2, A/42
3 B/6, A/1, C/34
4 C/4, A/1, B/23
a) What is the total makespan?
b) How much machine idle time is there?
c) When is each job delivered compared with its due date?
d) How much idle time (waiting time) is there for each job?
e) Devise a better job sequence for processing.
2. Problem 4
In problem 3, assume there are two machines of type A, two of type B, and two of type C.
a) Prepare a finite capacity schedule
b) How does your FCS compare to the performance of the Gantt chart in problem 2?
