Question

Processing times and due dates for five jobs... Processing times and due dates for five jobs are shown in the table below. Assume the jobs are processed using the earliest-due-date rule. Job Processing time (weeks) Due time (weeks) A B 1 1.02 8 2 WP> D E 5 1.0 1 4 8 12. What would be the lateness of job B?

Answer 1

The lateness of job B would be 0 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lateness of a job can be calculated by subtracting the job's due time from its completion time. According to the table, the processing time for job B is 1.02 weeks and the due time is 2 weeks. Since the job is processed using the earliest-due-date rule, it will be completed within its due time. Therefore, the lateness of job B is 0 weeks.
