A state-of-the-art survey of dispatching rules for manufacturing job shop operations
Abstract
This paper reviews recent studies of dispatching rules. A dispatching rule is used to select the next job to be processed from a set of jobs awaiting service. The paper has two objectives. The first is to discuss the state of the art in the study of dispatching rules. The discussion includes analytical approaches, simulation techniques and evaluation criteria. The second objective of the paper is to compare several of the dispatching rules listed in the Appendix using the results of recently published studies. It is impossible to identify any single rule as the best in all circumstances. However, several rules have been identified as exhibiting good performance in general.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
