PROBLEM 1:

Q=11 and S= 24
i) What is the first come, first served (FCFS) schedule?
Ans. First in, first out (FIFO), also known as first come, first served (FCFS), is the
simplest scheduling algorithm. FIFO simply queues processes in the order that they
arrive in the ready queue.
In this, the process that comes first will be executed first and next process starts only
after the previous gets fully executed.

ii) What is the shortest processing time schedule?

Ans. Shortest processing time (SPT): A priority sequencing rule that specifies that the
job requiring the shortest processing time is the next job to be processed. ... The
difference between the due date and today's date must be in the same time units as the
total shop time remaining.
iii) What is the slack time (STR) schedule?
Ans. Slack time (STR) scheduling is a scheduling algorithm. It assigns priority based on
the slack time of a process. Slack time is the amount of time left after a job if the job was
started now. This algorithm is also known as least laxity first. Its most common use is
in embedded systems, especially those with multiple processors. It imposes the simple
constraint that each process on each available processor possesses the same run time,
and that individual processes do not have an affinity to a certain processor. This is what
lends it a suitability to embedded systems.

iv) What is the earliest due date (EDD) schedule?

Ans. EDD sequencing rule is that “jobs are processed according to the due date, earliest
due date first.
 v) What are the mean flow times for each of the schedules above?
Ans. FCFS - 27.14 days
SPT - 19.86 days
STR – 24.14 days
EDD - 22 days

PROBLEM 2:

Determine the control limits for x bar chart and R- chart and draw these charts. Also,
comment on the process. Take A2=0.729, D3=0 and D4 =2.282 for n= 4.
Y=27 and Z= 54
Ans. Quality control charts represent a great tool for engineers to monitor if a process is
under statistical control. They help visualize variation, find and correct problems when they
occur, predict expected ranges of outcomes and analyse patterns of process variation from
special or common causes.
The x-bar and R-chart are quality control charts used to monitor the mean and variation of
a process based on samples taken in a given time. The control limits on both chats are used to
monitor the mean and variation of the process going forward. If a point is out of the control
limits, it indicates that the mean or variation of the process is out-of-control; assignable
causes may be suspected at this point. On the x-bar chart, the y-axis shows the grand mean
and the control limits while the x-axis shows the sample group.

PROBLEM 3:

P = 11 and T = 8

Ans. In statistical quality control, the p-chart is a type of control chart used to monitor the
proportion of nonconforming units in a sample, where the sample proportion nonconforming is
defined as the ratio of the number of nonconforming units to the sample size, n.
The p-chart only accommodates "pass"/"fail"-type inspection as determined by one or more go-
no go gauges or tests, effectively applying the specifications to the data before they are plotted on
the chart. Other types of control charts display the magnitude of the quality characteristic under
study, making troubleshooting possible directly from those charts.

The binomial distribution is the basis for the p-chart and requires the following assumptions:

• The probability of nonconformity p is the same for each unit;

• Each unit is independent of its predecessors or successors;
• The inspection procedure is the same for each sample and is carried out consistently from
sample to sample.
Since all the points in the above p-chart are within control limits, the process is
completely under control.
