The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Dispatching rule research has focused upon deterministic job shops and has used the same rule for all resources. This paper applies different rules for resources with high and low utilisation and assumes Beta distributed processing times. Data was obtained from a company that produces complex products in low volume. The mean tardiness of products decreased significantly when the highly utilised machines were carefully controlled.
