(19B) Priority Scheduling Rule

[SlideRule]

From the Working with your Business Consultant Professional Calculator series, Manufacturing Consultant booklet, Priority Scheduling Rule;
formula
PRIORITY=(WKHRS-TIME)÷#OPS
where
WHHRS = work hours until delivery date
TIME = total processing time
#OPS = number of remaining operations
"Priority scheduling rules are used to determine the order in which
customer orders should be worked. One priority scheduling rule uses
an index based on the number or work hours until the delivery date,
the processing time for the order and the number of operations re-
maining to complete the order. The lower the index, the higher the
priority."
