Abstract:

A report is made on an experimental investigation of priority dispatching in a job shop whose output feeds into an assembly shop. Procedures are investigated for meshing the jobs of a product by either having jobs progress at the same rate based on information about the number of operations remaining, or having jobs completed by some due date. Two-level priority procedures are presented that group jobs by how critically their completion affects the assembly of their product, and then use a shortest-processing-time method within these major groupings. Statistics are collected that indicate where congestion occurs and help in deriving some of the priority rules. Author
