There are two major tasks to be done for each of the six marketing plans (jobs) you will pitch: Market Analysis and Preparing the Advertising Plan. They must be done in that order. You have a person assigned to each task. Each person works on only one job at a time. The time needed is in the table below.

Job Market Analysis Prepare Plan
A 6 8
B 13 15
C 9 5
D 11 7
E 16 17
F 20 14

You will use Johnson's Rule to schedule the jobs.

1. Using Johnson's rule for sequencing the your jobs:

Which job goes first?

Which job goes second?

Which job goes third?

Which job goes fourth?

Which job goes fifth?

Which job goes sixth?

Enter just the letter, e.g., M

2. What is the makespan? Recall that makespan is the total time needed to complete all of these jobs (your schedule.) It isn't as simple as summing all of the time. Look at Scenario 2b. You'll see that there is idle time that needs to be included. Personally, sketching out a Gantt chart is what I do. Provide an integer answer.
