1. The job time for each job (a day is 8 hours):

Set-up Time Production

Job Time Job Time
A 2 hours 6 days (2/8) + 6 = 6.25 days
B 4 hours 2 days (4/8) + 2 = 2.5 days
C 2 hours 8 days (2/8) + 8 = 8.25 days
D 4 hours 3 days (4/8) + 3 = 3.5 days
E 4 hours 9 days (4/8) + 9 = 9.5 days

2. Time remaining until due date (working days) for each job:

Working days in July:

Time Remaining until Due Date = Working Day Due Date – Today’s Working Day Number (1)

5. Calculations for the average flow time, average tardiness, and average number of jobs at the
work center for each rule:

FCFS: Job time Flow time Due date Days

Job (days) (days) (days) tardy
A 6.25 6.25 6 0.25
B 2.50 8.75 4 4.75
C 8.25 17.00 18 0.00
D 3.50 20.50 13 7.50
E 9.50 30.00 22 8.00
30.00 82.50 20.50

Average job flow time = Total job flow time / Number of jobs = 82.50 / 5 = 16.50 days.

Average job tardiness = Total job tardiness / Number of jobs = 20.50 / 5 = 4.10 days.

Average number of jobs = Total flow time / Makespan = 82.50 / 30.00 = 2.75 jobs.

SPT: Job time Flow time Due date Days

Job (days) (days) (days) tardy
B 2.50 2.50 4 0.00
D 3.50 6.00 13 0.00
A 6.25 12.25 6 6.25
C 8.25 20.50 18 2.50
E 9.50 30.00 22 8.00
30.00 71.25 16.75

Average job flow time = Total job flow time / Number of jobs = 71.25 / 5 = 14.25 days.

Average job tardiness = Total job tardiness / Number of jobs = 16.75 / 5 = 3.35 days.

Average number of jobs = Total flow time / Makespan = 71.25 / 30.00 = 2.38 jobs.
EDD: Job time Flow time Due date Days
Job (days) (days) (days) tardy
B 2.50 2.50 4 0.00
A 6.25 8.75 6 2.75
D 3.50 12.25 13 0.00
C 8.25 20.50 18 2.50
E 9.50 30.00 22 8.00
30.00 74.00 13.25

Average job flow time = Total job flow time / Number of jobs = 74.00 / 5 = 14.80 days.

Average job tardiness = Total job tardiness / Number of jobs = 13.25 / 5 = 2.65 days.

Average number of jobs = Total flow time / Makespan = 74.00 / 30.00 = 2.47 jobs.

CR: Job time Flow time Due date Days

Job (days) (days) (days) tardy
A 6.25 6.25 6 0.25
B 2.50 8.75 4 4.75

D 3.50 20.50 13 7.50
E 9.50 30.00 22 8.00
30.00 82.50 20.50

Average job flow time = Total job flow time / Number of jobs = 82.50 / 5 = 16.50 days.

Average job tardiness = Total job tardiness / Number of jobs = 20.50 / 5 = 4.10 days.

Average number of jobs = Total flow time / Makespan = 82.50 / 30.00 = 2.75 jobs.
