Scheduling

McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2007 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
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.

16-2
Learning Objectives
 Use and interpret Gantt charts, and use the
assignment method for loading.
 Discuss and give examples of commonly
used priority rules.
 Describe some of the unique problems
encountered in service systems, and
describe some of the approaches used for
scheduling service systems.

16-3
Scheduling

 Scheduling: Establishing the timing of


the use of equipment, facilities and
human activities in an organization
 Effective scheduling can yield
 Cost savings
 Increases in productivity

16-4
High-Volume Systems

 Flow system: High-volume system with


Standardized equipment and activities
 Flow-shop scheduling: Scheduling for high-
volume flow system

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

16-7
Intermediate-Volume Systems
 Outputs are between standardized high-
volume systems and made-to-order job
shops
 Run size, timing, and sequence of jobs
 Economic run size:

16-8
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

16-9
Gantt Load Chart
Figure 16.2

 Gantt chart - used as a visual aid for


loading and scheduling
Work Mon. Tues. Wed. Thurs. Fri.

16-10
Loading
 Infinite loading – jobs are assigned to
work centers without regard for the
capacity of the work center.
 Finite loading – jobs are assigned to
work centers taking into account the
work center capacity and job processing
times
 Vertical loading
 Horizontal loading

16-11
Loading (cont’d)
 Forward scheduling – scheduling ahead from
some point in time.
 Backward scheduling – scheduling by
working backwards in time from the due
date(s).
 Schedule chart – a form of Gantt chart that
shows the orders or jobs in progress and
whether they are on schedule.

16-12
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.

16-13
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.

16-14
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
 Rush - emergency Top Priority

16-15
Assumptions of Priority Rules
 The setup of jobs is known
 Setup time is independent pf processing
sequence
 Setup time is deterministic
 There will be no interruptions in processing
such as:
 Machine breakdowns
 Accidents
 Worker illness
