Which one of the following statements about the Balloons Aloha case study on scheduling and sequencing is TRUE?
A) The sequencing rule used did not impact average flow time but it did change tardiness.
B) The earliest due date (EDD) rule was the best sequencing rule to use for this case situation.
C) The shortest processing time (SPT) rule was the best sequencing rule to use for this case situation.
D) Johnson's rule was the best sequencing rule to use for this case situation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Balloons Aloha case study found that the shortest processing time (SPT) rule was the best sequencing rule to use for this situation. This resulted in a shorter average flow time and improved on-time performance, compared to other sequencing rules such as first come, first served (FCFS) and earliest due date (EDD). Johnson's rule was not mentioned as an option in the case study.
