Abstract

This is a report of the results of some digital computer simulation studies of a simplified model of a job shop production process. Such factors as the average effectiveness of schedules under the impact of random variations in processing times and the effect of changing operating policies are considered. The average manufacturing times and predictability of completion times were used as measures of effectiveness.
