Johnson's rule states that the job with the shortest processing time should be scheduled first, followed by the job with the second shortest processing time, and so on. In this case, the job has a processing time of 7 hours in the assembly department and 8 hours in the painting department. Therefore, the job should be scheduled as early as possible in the unfilled job sequence.
