Chapter 10: Currently a company that designs Web sites has five customers in its backlog. The time since the order arrived, processing time, and promised due dates are given in the following table.
Job |
Time Since Order Arrived (days ago) |
Processing Time (days) |
Due Date (days from now) |

a.
Schedule using first-come first-serve (FCFS) rule :
Arrange jobs in their arrival order chronologically ,
which would be D, E, A, B, C as per time since order arrived in days ago, in the table given
Now the table below provides the Schedule using FCFS :
Job |
Time Since Order Arrived (days ago) |
Start time |
Processing Time (days) |
End Time (= Start Time + Processing Time) |
Flow TIme (= TIme Since order Arrived +End Time) |
Due Date (days from now) |
Days Past Due (= End Time - Due Date ; when End Time > Due Date else 0 ) |
D | 10 | 0 | 22 | 22 | 32 | 26 | 0 |
E | 8 | 22 | 12 | 34 | 42 | 50 | 0 |
A | 6 | 34 | 18 | 52 | 58 | 66 | 0 |
B | 3 | 52 | 24 | 76 | 79 | 58 | 22 |
C | 2 | 76 | 32 | 108 | 110 | 80 | 28 |
All the bold lettered columns in above table are taken directly from the given table and the rest columns values are calculated as per equation given which is self explanatory.
Average Flow time = (32 + 42 + 58 + 79 +110 ) / 5 = 321 / 5 = 62.5
Average Days Past Due = ( 0 + 0 + 0 +22 + 28) / 5 = 50 / 5 = 10
b.
Schedule using earliest due date (EDD) rule :
Arrange jobs in their earliest due date chronologically ,
which is D, E, B, A, C as per due date, in the table given
Now the table below provides the Schedule using EDD :
Job |
Time Since Order Arrived (days ago) |
Start time |
Processing Time (days) |
End Time (= Start Time + Processing Time) |
Flow TIme (= TIme Since order Arrived + End Time) |
Due Date (days from now) |
Days Past Due (= End Time - Due Date ; when End Time > Due Date else 0 ) |
D | 10 | 0 | 22 | 22 | 32 | 26 | 0 |
E | 8 | 22 | 12 | 34 | 42 | 50 | 0 |
B | 3 | 34 | 24 | 58 | 61 | 58 | 0 |
A | 6 | 58 | 18 | 76 | 82 | 66 | 10 |
C | 2 | 76 | 32 | 108 | 110 | 80 | 28 |
All the bold lettered columns in above table are taken directly from the given table and the rest column values are calculated as per equation given which is self explanatory.
Average Flow Time = (32 + 42 + 61 + 81 + 110) / 5 = 326 / 5 = 65.2
Average Days Past Due = ( 0 + 0 + 0 + 10 + 28 ) / 5 = 38 / 5 = 7.6
c.
We can see
Average Flow Time in FCFS = 62.5 is lesser than in EDD = 65.2
This makes sense , as in FCFS schedule, one prioritises to finish the tasks arrived earlier which in turn improves the Total Flow Time, and hence we find better Average Flow Time.
Average Days Past Due in EDD = 7.6 is lesser than in FCFS = 10
This makes sense , as in EDD schedule, one prioritises to finish the tasks which have earlier due dates, which in turn improves the Total Days Past Due, and hence we find better Average Days Past Due.

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...
