Learning Objectives
Explain what scheduling involves and the
importance of good scheduling.
Discuss scheduling needs in high-volume
and intermediate-volume systems.
Discuss scheduling needs in job shops.
Use and interpret Gantt charts, and use the
assignment method for loading.
Discuss and give examples of commonly
used priority rules.

High-Volume Systems

Flow system: High-volume system with


Standardized equipment and activities
Flow-shop scheduling: Scheduling for high-
volume flow system
Line Balancing
Forecasts

High-Volume Success Factors

Process and product design


Preventive maintenance
Rapid repair when breakdown occurs
Optimal product mixes
Minimization of quality problems
Reliability and timing of supplies

16-6
Intermediate-Volume Systems
Outputs are between standardized high-
volume systems and made-to-order job
shops
Run size, timing, and sequence of jobs

Scheduling Low-Volume Systems

Loading - assignment of jobs to


process centers
Sequencing - determining the order
in which jobs will be processed
Job-shop scheduling
Scheduling for low-volume
systems with many
variations
in requirements

loading and scheduling

Sequencing

Sequencing: Determine the order in


which jobs at a work center will be
processed.

Workstation: An area where one person


works, usually with special equipment,
on a specialized job.

16-10
Sequencing

Priority rules: Simple heuristics


used to select the order in
which jobs will be processed.
Everything is
#1 Priority

Job time: Time needed for


setup and processing of a job.

16-11
Priority Rules
Table 16.2

FCFS - first come, first served


SPT - shortest processing time
EDD - earliest due date
CR - critical ratio
S/O - slack per operation
Top Priority
Rush - emergency

16-12
Theory of Constraints
The Theory of Constraints Goal is to
maximize flow through the entire system
Emphasizes balancing flow
Improve performance of bottleneck:
Determine what is constraining the operation
Exploit the constraint
Subordinate everything to the constraint
Determine how to overcome the constraint
Repeat the process for the next constraint
