The discussion centers on comparing processing times for two job types: one following a normal distribution with a mean of 4.5 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.5 minutes, and the other uniformly distributed between 1 and 3 minutes. The key conclusion is that determining which job requires less processing time depends on the definition of "smaller," whether in terms of expected value or probability comparisons. The user is utilizing Simio for job priority decisions based on processing times, emphasizing the need for clarity in statistical comparisons.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for data analysts, operations researchers, and simulation practitioners who need to make informed decisions about job prioritization based on processing time distributions.
Amol Musale said:which job will requires less processing time??
Amol Musale said:I am working on simio and i have to decide job priority according to their processing time. smaller the processing time, higher the priority. I don't know how to compare between normal and uniform distribution.
