Answer 1.
b) WS-1= {1,2,3,4} = {5+6+5+8} =24 sec WS-2= {5,6,7} = {10+3+12} =25 sec
WS-3= {8, 9, 10} = {8+8+5} =21 sec WS-4= {11, 12} = {5+10} = 15 sec
We have 3 seconds worth automation in our hand to allocate.
We will select WS-2 first as it is the Bottleneck of the chain.
We will select any one of the 5, 6 or 7 and will reduce the operation time by 1 sec. Now WS-2
time is 24 sec.
Now both WS-1 and WS-2 have time of 24 seconds. We will select any one of operation
1/2/3/4 from WS-1 and will reduce its operation time by 1 sec and similarly for WS-2.

Due Dates 8 8 12 12 20 20
Jobs 1 2 3 4 5 6
Processing times 4 6 2 3 5 2
Due Dates 8 8 12 12 20 20
Completion time 4 10
Sequence = 1,3,4,5,6,2 has only 1 tardy job. And we will have at least 1 tardy job for any sequence.
Other sequences are also possible which have only 1 tardy job.
Answer 4.
Jobs 1 2 3 4 5 6
Processing times 4 5 7 3 5 6
Profit 5 6 9 4 6 8
Profit/Processing Time 1.25 1.2 1.28 1.33 1.2 1.33
a) Available time = 20
We will order the jobs in decreasing order of their profit per unit processing time = 4,6,3,1,2,5
and select the jobs till we have time left for processing. Recommended jobs are 4, 6, 3 and 1.
(Total time consumed on machine = 20)
b) 𝑥% + 𝑥< ≥ 1
Answer 5.
We will not change the ordering quantity. Even if we consider the change in annual per unit holding
cost due to discount offered, the result comes out to be same.
