Types of Sequencing Problem

______ time is the time when the machine is available but is waiting for a job to be processed

In sequencing problem the time required to transfer a job from one machine to another is ______

State whether the following statement is True or False: 

In sequencing problem each job once started on any machine must be processed still its completion

A machine operator has to perform two operations, turning and threading on 6 different jobs. The time required to perform these operations (in minutes) for each job is known. Determine the order in which the jobs should be processed in order to minimize the total time required to complete all the jobs. Also find the total processing time and idle times for turning and threading operations.

A company has three jobs on hand. Each of these must be processed through two departments, in the order AB where
Department A: Press shop and
Department B: Finishing
The table below gives the number of days required by each job in each department

Find the sequence in which the three jobs should be processed so as to take minimum time to finish all the three jobs. Also find idle time for both the departments.

An insurance company receives three types of policy application bundles daily from its head office for data entry and tiling. The time (in minutes) required for each type for these two operations is given in the following table:

Find the sequence that minimizes the total time required to complete the entire task.

There are five jobs, each of which must go through two machines in the order XY. Processing times (in hours) are given below. Determine the sequence for the jobs that will minimize the total elapsed time. Also find the total elapsed time and idle time for each machine.
