What motivates maximizing utilization? What motivates not maximizing utilization?
Why is average tardiness a better measure than average lateness?
What higher-level planning problems are related to the production scheduling problem? What are the variables and constraints in the high-level problems? What are the variables and constraints in the lower-level scheduling problem? How are the problems linked?
What are some goals of production scheduling? How do these conflict?
What dispatching rule minimizes average cycle time for a deterministic single machine? What rule minimizes maximum tardiness? How can one easily check to see if a schedule exists for which there are no tardy jobs?
