2. What is scheduling? What are its objectives? (April 2018, May 2023)
Scheduling refers to the setting of operation start dates so that jobs will be completely by their
due date. The objectives of production scheduling are:

iv) To minimize work-in process inventory v) To maximize machine or labor utilization
3. What is master scheduling? (April 2017) (April 2019)
The master schedule, also known as master production schedule (MPS), formalize the production
plan and translates it into specific end-item requirements over a short to immediate planning
horizon.
4. What is MPS?
The master schedule, also known as master production schedule (MPS), formalize the production
plan and translates it into specific end-item requirements over a short to immediate planning
horizon.
5. What are Gantt charts?
Gantt charts are usual aids used to depict the sequencing, load on facilities, or progress associated
with work effort over a well-defined time period.
6. What is priority sequencing?
Priority sequencing is a systematic procedure for assigning priorities to waiting jobs thereby
determining the sequence in which the jobs will be performed.
7. What are the dispatching rules?
Dispatching rules, also known as priority rules or sequencing rules or scheduling rules, are the
St. Joseph’s College of Engineering 14
IE 8693 / Production Planning and Control Mechanical Engineering 2023-2024
rules used in obtaining a job sequence.
8. What is meant by product sequencing?
Priority sequencing is a systematic procedure for assigning priorities to waiting jobs thereby
determining the sequence in which the jobs will be performed.
9. What is meant by EBQ scheduling?( April 2022)
EBQ scheduling is nothing is nothing but the economic batch quantity scheduling that can be
performed by using aggregate run-out method.
10. What do you mean by line-of-balance? What are its uses?( April 2022)
Line-of-balance is a charting technique that uses lead times and assembling sequencing to
compare planned component completion with actual component completions.

1. Operation program chart/ or assembly chart, 2. Objective chart 3. Progress chart
4. Line of balance chart
12. What is the use of objective chart?
The objective chart shows the contrast between expected completion schedules of production and
the actual performance.
13. When do you use progress chart?
The progress chart is a bar type chart which shows the actual number of items produced at each
operation stage against the quantities that should have been produced as indicated by line of
balance.
