Considering a two-resource sequencing problem,
A)The makespan is the same for any sequence of jobs
B)Flow time is minimized
C)The goal is to minimize makespan
D)Each job can be processed by either resource first

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a two-resource sequencing problem, the goal is to minimize the makespan, which is the total time required to complete all the jobs. Therefore, choice C is the best option. Choices A and D are incorrect because the makespan may vary depending on the sequence of jobs, and each job can only be processed by one resource first. Choice B is incorrect because flow time is not necessarily minimized in a two-resource sequencing problem.
