question 51

Essay

Use Johnson's rule to determine the optimum processing sequence for the jobs listed in the following table. Chart total throughput time.
$$\begin{array} { c c c } &{ \text { Processing Time (mins) } } \\\text { Job } & \text { ST1 } & \text { ST2 } \\\hline \text { A } & 20 & 12 \\\text { B } & 10 & 32 \\\text { C } & 8 & 9 \\\text { D } & 14 & 7 \\\text { E } & 5 & 6 \\\text { F } & 18 & 6\end{array}$$
