What is Job Sequencing

Job Sequencing prioritizes jobs that have been assigned to a resource. When more than one job is assigned to a machine or activity, the operator needs to know the order in which to process the job. One common approach is to process the job first that is due the soonest or the job that has the highest customer priority. Another approach is to perform jobs with a similar setup to the job that is currently running to minimize downtime. There is no one sequencing rule that optimizes both processing efficiency and due date performance.
