- K Courtney is a programmer receiving requests each week to analyze a large data base. Five jobs were on her desk Monday morning, and she must decide in what order to write the code. Assume that all jobs arrived today (day 1 and hour 1), in the order shown below. Courtney has assigned the number of hours required to do the coding as noted. Note that Courtney works an 8-hour day and today is a work day. JOB A C D E DUE DATE (HOURS HENCE) 10 16 14 36 26 DURATION (HOURS REQUIRED) 6 3758 a) Sequence the jobs according to EDD.

- Given the data below, using the SPT heuristic sequencing rule, determine the completion date and tardiness for each job as well as the average completion time and average tardiness for all four jobs. Which of the following statements is true? Job Processing time (days) Due date (in days) A 10 10 B 5 8 C 15 25 D 8 15 a.Jobs B and D will have no tardiness b.The tardiness for Job A is 12 days c.The average tardiness is 19.75 d.The average completion time is 6.5arrow_forwardAt the campus copy shop, six jobs have a rrived in the order shown (A, B, C, D, E, and F) at the beginning of the day (today, which is a workday). All of the jobs are due at varioustimes today. Your task is to evaluate four common sequencing rules. a) Sequence the jobs according to the following decision rules:FCFS, EDD, SPT, and LPT.b) For the FCFS sequence, compute the average completion (flow) time, average lateness, and average number of jobs in the system.c) For the EDD sequence, compute the average completion (flow) time, average lateness, and average number of jobs in the system.d) For the SPT sequence, compute the average completion (flow) time, average lateness, and average number of jobs in the system. e) For the LPT sequence, compute the average completion (flow)time, average lateness, and average number of jobs…arrow_forwardThe following jobs are waiting to be processed at the same machine center.
