Raquel is concerned with efficiency. She believes it is probably more efficient to use SPT (shortest processing time) as her priority rule.

a. Develop a sequence using SPT based on processing time for preparing the area.

(If two of more jobs have the same processing time, list them alchobedically.)

b. Calculate the makespan, the mean job flow time, and the average number of jobs in the system.

Develop a sequence using SPT based on processing time for preparing the area. (If two of more jobs have the same processing time, list them alphabetically) Calculate the makespan, the mean job flow time, and the average number of jobs in the system.
