Question:
A leatherworks factory has two punch presses for punching holes in the various leather goods produced in the factory prior to sewing. Suppose that 12 different jobs must be processed on one or the other punch press (i.e., parallel processing). The processing times (in minutes) for these 12 jobs are given in the following table.
Job 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Time 26 12 8 42 35 30 29 21 25 15 4 75 Assume that both presses are initially idle. Compare the performance of SPT and LPT (longest processing time) rules for this example. (In parallel processing the next job is simply scheduled on the next available machine.)
