6-64. (Job shop scheduling) Three jobs, J1, J2, and J3, are processed on three machines, M1, M2, and M3, according to the following sequences (processing times are shown in parentheses): J1: M3(3) J2: M2(1) - - - M1(4) – M2(6) - M3(5) – M2(9) - - J3: M3(8) – M2(8) – M1(7) The order in which the jobs are processed on the different machines is predetermined as: M1: J1 J2 J3 - - M2: J2 J3 - J1 - M3: J3 J1 J2 - - a. Represent the problem as a CPM network for which the critical path determines the make span of all three jobs. b. Use the critical path calculations to develop the scheduling of the jobs (Gantt chart), assuming that each operation is scheduled at its earliest start time.

- Consider the following tasks that must be assigned to four workers on a conveyor-paced assembly line (i.e., a machine-paced line flow). Each worker must perform at least one task. There exists unlimited demand unless stated otherwise. Time to Complete Task (seconds): Task 1: 30 Task 2: 25 Task 3: 15 Task 4: 20 Task 5: 15 Task 6: 20 Task 7: 50 Task 8: 15 Task 9: 20 Task 10: 25 Task 11: 15 Task 12: 20 The current conveyor-paced assembly-line configuration assigns the workers in the following way: • Worker 1: Tasks 1, 2, 3 • Worker 2: Tasks 4, 5, 6 • Worker 3: Tasks 7, 8, 9 • Worker 4: Tasks 10, 11, 12 What is the direct labor content (in seconds per unit)?Currently a company that designs Web sites has six customers in its backlog.

- 1/ Katie Posh runs an upscale nail salon. The service process includes five activities that are conducted in the sequence described below. (The time required for each activity is shown in parentheses):Activity 1: Welcome a guest. (1 minute)Activity 2: Clip and file nails. (3 minutes)Activity 3: Paint. (5 minutes)Activity 4: Dry. (10 minutes)Activity 5: Check out the customer. (4 minutes)Three servers (S1, S2, and S3) offer the services in a worker-paced line. The assignment of tasks to servers is the following: S1 does Activity 1. S2 does Activities 2 and 3. S3 does Activities 4 and 5. The drying process does not require server 3’s constant attention; she/he needs to only escort the customer to the salon’s drying chair (equipped with fans for drying). The time to do this is negligible. There exists only one drying chair in the salon.a. What is the utilization of server 2 (in decimal form)?
