They may have a concern for this week - the ask is to fill balloons with helium and assemble them into certain configurations today for six major parties. Their six customer jobs all need to use the same helium tank, (that is, the single processor), and they are wondering what might be the best way to sequence these jobs. Client (job) number 5 is the top customer. The assistant store manager wants to process them in sequential order, (1,2,3,4,5, and 6). Since the balloons lose air quickly, the company waits until the day of the parties to fill them and then the workload is hectic. Business is booming and growing about 15 percent per year in their new store location. The job processing times are as follows:
Job 123456
Processing time (min)24013021090170165
Due dates (6 a.m. to midnight in minutes from opening)240360480240720780
1. Compute the average flow time, lateness, and tardiness for this group of jobs using the assistant store managers sequential order of 1(first),2,3,4,5, and 6(last).
