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 | DUE DATE (HOURS HENCE) | DURATION (HOURS REQUIRED) |
A | 34 | 20 |
B | 24 | 10 |
C | 8 | 4 |
D | 20 | 1 |
E | 14 | 5 |
a. Sequence the jobs according to EDD?
b. What is the average competition (flow) time?
c. What is the average job lateness?
d. What is the average number of jobs in the system?
Answer a= Sequence as per EDD will be the ascending order of due date. So the sequence will be=C-E-D-B-A
Activity | In | Out | Due date | Lateness |
C | 0 | 4 | 8 | 0 |
E | 4 | 4+5=9 | 14 | 0 |
D | 9 | 9+1=10 | 20 | 0 |
B | 10 | 10+10=20 | 24 | 0 |
A | 20 | 20+20=40 | 34 | 6 |
Answer b- Averahe completion time = (4+9+10+20+40)/5=16.6
Answer c= Average job lateness = 6/5=1.2
Answer d= average number of jobs= (4+9+10+20+40)/(20+10+4+1+5)=2.08

a) 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): At Morgan's Transformer Rebuilding, following jobs (below) are ready for dispatching to a work center. The processing times, date job received, and due dates for the jobs are given below. In what sequence would the jobs be ranked according to the decision rules on the left Sequence Job 1 Date Job...

20. The Mowry Machine Shop still has five jobs to be pro- cessed as of 8 A.M. today (day 23) at its bottleneck opera- tion. The day when 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) Processing Time (days) Due Date (days from now) Job А 11 10 22 10 8 В 13 8...
Using the FCFS (first come, first served) decision rule for sequencing the jobs, the order is: The following jobs are waiting to be processed at Rick Solano's machine center. Solano's machine center has a relatively long backlog and sets a fresh schedule every 2 weeks, which does not disturb earlier schedules. Below are the jobs to be scheduled today, which is day 241 (day 241 is a work day). Job names refer to names of clients and contract numbers. Compute...
Data Analysis Project Part 1Custom Fabric Ventures is a small company that
produces fabric-based wardrobe accessories (such as, handbags,
scarves, and headbands) and home accessories (such as placemats,
pillows, and window treatments). The company keeps a
limited number of popular items in stock, but primarily produces
custom orders. Customers are able to choose from a wide selection
of styles, sizes, and fabrics for each type of product. Most of the

2) compute contribution margin for each channel
3) compute break even point (in terms of number of orders and
dollars) for each distribution channel
(HINT - Fixed costs are all trade show expenses. Use
depreciation for the booth as a fixed cost. The booth cost should
be considered an investment not a fixed cost)
4) Calculate the number of orders at a target profit of
$100,000
5) Calculate the profitability for both the low and high order
estimates

Summary should briefly analyze the central problems and issues of the case and provide some analysis and suggestions. Thank you. Lean Initiatives and Growth at Orlando Metering Company It was late August 2002 and Ed Cucinelli, vice president of Orlando Metering Company (OMC), sat in his office on a late Saturday morning. He had come in to prepare for some strategic planning meetings that were scheduled for the upcoming week. As he noticed the uncommon silence in the building, Ed...
A. Issues [1] In addition to damages for one year's notice period, can a trial judge award significant damages for the mere fact of an employee's dismissal, or for the stigma that that dismissal brings? Or for the employer thereafter competing with the ex-employee for the clients, before the ex-employee has got a new job? B. Basic Facts [2] This is an appeal from 2009 ABQB 591 (CanLII), 473 A.R. 254. [3] Usually a judgment recites facts before law. But...
