• Have the correct amount of resources at the right time and in the right place
• Meet the job’s due date - customer service
• Utilization of the organization’s resources - productivity

Scheduling Manufacturing Operations
• High-volume
• Intermediate-volume
• Low-volume
• Service operations
CHAPTER SEVENTEENSCHEDULING
MTSU Management 362 17-5
Work Center #1 Work Center #2 Output
High-Volume Systems• Flow system: High-volume system with
standardized equipment and activities• Flow-shop scheduling: Scheduling for
high-volume flow system– line balancing (Chapter 6)– design of work systems (Chapter 7)
CHAPTER SEVENTEENSCHEDULING

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
CHAPTER SEVENTEENSCHEDULING
MTSU Management 362 17-7
• Outputs are between standardized high-volume systems and made-to-order job shops
• Three basic issues– run size of jobs– timing of jobs– sequence in which jobs should be
processed

Intermediate-Volume Systems (2 of 2)
• Economic run size
• Base production on a master schedule developed from customer orders and forecasts of demand
CHAPTER SEVENTEENSCHEDULING
MTSU Management 362 17-9
Low-Volume Systems• A variety of unique (customized) jobs arrive at the shop• Someone must analyze each job regarding its routing
(which work centers it will be required to visit), and the required amount of resources needed at each work center
• Typically the customer is told when the job will be finished (due date)
• The jobs are moved through the required work centers as each becomes available according to a scheduling system
CHAPTER SEVENTEENSCHEDULING
MTSU Management 362 17-10
Scheduling Low-Volume Systems
• Loading - assignment of jobs to process centers
• Sequencing - determining the order in which jobs will be processed
CHAPTER SEVENTEENSCHEDULING
MTSU Management 362 17-11
Loading Approaches (1 of 2)
• Infinite loading– assumes capacity of a work center is infinite– priority sequencing rule then used– managers may need to respond to capacity
overload conditions
CHAPTER SEVENTEENSCHEDULING
MTSU Management 362 17-12
Loading Approaches (2 of 2)
• Finite loading – projects the starting and stopping times of
each job at each work center– takes into account capacities of each work
center and the processing times of jobs so that capacity is not exceeded
• In special cases, an algorithm such as the assignment method may be used
CHAPTER SEVENTEENSCHEDULING
MTSU Management 362 17-13
Everything is#1 Priority
Sequencing
• Determine the order in which jobs waiting at a work center will be processed
• One approach is to use priority rules (simple heuristics) to select the order in which jobs waiting in line will be processed
CHAPTER SEVENTEENSCHEDULING
MTSU Management 362 17-14
Examples of Priority Rules
• FCFS - first come, first served
• SPT - shortest processing time
• DD - due date
• CR - critical ratio

Examples of Performance Measuresfor a Job Shop Scheduling System (1 of 2)
• Job flow time – the length of time a job is in the shop at a particular workstation; includes processing time, wait time, transportation time
• Average job flow time – the sum of the flow time for each job in a group divided by the number of jobs
• Makespan – total time needed to complete a group of jobs; sum of processing times
CHAPTER SEVENTEENSCHEDULING
MTSU Management 362 17-16
Examples of Performance Measuresfor a Job Shop Scheduling System (2 of 2)
• Job lateness – the length of time the job completion time is expected to exceed the time the job is due
• Average lateness – the sum of the lateness for each job in a group divided by the number of jobs
• Average number of jobs – average work-in-process for a group of jobs; total flow time/makespan
CHAPTER SEVENTEENSCHEDULING
MTSU Management 362 17-17
Two Work Center Sequencing
• Johnson’s Rule– technique for minimizing completion
time for a group of jobs to be processed on two processes or at two work centers.
– minimizes total idle time of the two processes
• Several conditions must be satisfied
CHAPTER SEVENTEENSCHEDULING
MTSU Management 362 17-18
Johnson’s Rule Conditions
• Job time must be known and constant
• Job times must be independent of sequence
• Jobs must follow same two-step sequence (flow shop)
• Job priorities cannot be used
• All units must be completed at the first work center before moving to second

• Used as a visual aid for loading and scheduling
• Purpose is to organize and clarify the actual or intended use of resources in a time framework
• Two most commonly used types– load chart– schedule chart

Scheduling Approaches• Forward scheduling
– scheduling ahead, from some point in time
• Backward scheduling– scheduling by working backward from
the job’s due date
CHAPTER SEVENTEENSCHEDULING
MTSU Management 362 17-24
Input/Output Control
• Used to manage work flow so that queues and waiting times are kept under control
• Input to a work center is compared to the output of that work center for some time period
• An imbalance indicates management should investigate

Service Operation Problems
• Cannot store or inventory services
• Customer service requests are random
• Scheduling service involves– Customers– Workforce– Equipment
Duh! Where’sDilbert?

Scheduling Service Operations
• Appointment systems– Controls customer arrivals for service
• Reservation systems– Estimates demand for service
• Scheduling the workforce– Manages capacity for service
• Scheduling multiple resources– Coordinates use of more than one resource
