Question: Reconsider which involved the scheduling rules (or queue disciplines) firstin-first-out (FIFO) and priority-by-type (PR) in a job shop. In addition to these two rules, consider a shortest imminent operation (SIO) scheduling rule. For a given station, all jobs of the type with the smallest mean processing time are given highest priority. For example, when using an SIO rule at station l, jobs are processed in the following order: type 2 first, then type l, and type 3 last. 1\vo jobs of the same type are processed on a FIFO basis. Develop a simulation experiment to compare the FIFO, PR, and SIO rules on the basis of mean total response time over all jobs.
