The Mowry Machine Shop still has five jobs to be processed as of 8 A.M. today (day 25) at its bottleneck operation. The time since the order arrived, processing time, and promised due dates are given in the following table. The jobs are listed in the order of arrival. Time Since Order Arrived (days ago) 12 10 8 3 1 Processing Time (days) 8 4 Job B C D E Due Date (days from now) 11 17 14 28 20 4 3 10 a. Develop separate schedules by using the FCFS and EDD rules. Compare the schedules on the basis of average flow time and average days past due. Using the FCFS (first come first served) decision rule for sequencing the jobs, the order is: 1 2 3 4 4 5 Sequence Job B D E 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): 1 2 3 3 4 5 5 Sequence Job A A B E D The average flow time and average days past due for each option are: (Enter your responses rounded to one decimal place.) Rule EDD Average Flow Time 21.2 16.8 Average Days Past Due 3.2 2.21 FCFS
