Question:
16. (**) Recall Example 15.7, where Carlos’s Restoration Services wanted to determine the best sequence for four jobs. According to Table 15.2, the critical ratio was the only rule tested that resulted in an estimated average lateness value of 0 days.
Now suppose a representative of Chester College calls up and says it won’t need the restored art piece for 14 days. At the same time, the High Museum leaves a message saying it would really like its job completed in 15 days.
How would these requests change the suggested sequence, based on the critical ratio rule? If Carlos’s uses the critical ratio rule to sequence the jobs, will they all be done on time?
