4. a) Explain Johnson’s rule of scheduling the sequence of jobs. What

is Gantt chart? Discuss the use of Gantt chart for scheduling
purpose with an example.

b) A bomb squad faces a terrible situation that the members wish

had never happened. A terrorist has planted five bombs in an
airport building, endangering lives and property. The squad has
located all five bombs and must now proceed to dismantle them.
Because of limited staffing, the bombs can be dismantled only
sequentially. Unfortunately, there is not much time left and the
squad must choose judiciously the order in which the bombs will
be dismantled. The following data represents a reliable estimate
by the squad. What sequence for dismantling the bombs would you
recommend to the squad? What should be the criterion that the
squad optimizes?

Bomb 1 2 3 4 5

Time to dismantle (hours) 3 1 2 4 1

Time remaining before the 9 11.25 11 6 5

5. a) Explain various activities of dispatcher

b) Define routing. Explain the routing procedure.
