    Operations Management: "Critical Ratio Method " Presented by Fatima Zahra

    The critical ratio method assigns priority to jobs based on a ratio of the remaining time until the due date and the remaining processing time. A ratio above 1 means a job is ahead of schedule, while a ratio below 1 means it is behind schedule. The job with the lowest ratio, and therefore the least time remaining relative to its processing time, receives the highest priority. In the example, Job C has a ratio less than 1, so it is the most behind schedule and given priority to process first. This method aims to minimize tardy jobs by prioritizing those most at risk of missing their due dates.

    Critical Ratio:
     The critical ratio method assigns a priority that is
    a continually updated ratio between the time
    remaining until due date and the required job
    processing time. When used in conjunction with
    other jobs waiting to be processed, it is a relative
    measure of critical job order priority.
    Continue…
     The critical ratio gives the highest priority to jobs that
    must be done to maintain a predetermined shipping
    schedule.

     Jobs that are falling behind a shipping schedule


    receive a ratio of less than 1…

     While a job receiving a critical ratio greater than 1 is


    ahead of schedule and is less critical.

     A job receiving a critical ratio score of 1.0 is precisely


    on schedule.
    Calculating Critical Ratio:
     The critical ratio is calculated by dividing the
    remaining time until the date due by the
    remaining process time using the following
    formula:

     critical ratio = remaining time / remaining


    process time
    = (Due Date - Today`s date) / days of
    remaining process time
    Example:
     On day 16, four jobs, A, B, C, and D, are on order for
    Ferguson`s Kitchen Installation Service:
     Jobs on Order
    Continue…
     Using this data, the critical ratios and priority
    order are computed.

     Job C has a critical ratio less than one indicating it has


    fallen behind schedule. Therefore, it gets the highest
    priority. Job D is exactly on schedule, but jobs B and A have
    respectively higher critical ratios indicating they have some
    slack time. This gives them respectively lower priorities.
    Continue…
    Critical Ratio
    Critical ratio:
     looks at time remaining between current
    time and due date
     considers processing time as a percentage
    of remaining time
     CR = 1.0 means just enough time
     CR > 1 .0 more than enough time
     CR < 1.0 not enough time
    Example: Critical Ratio
     T=0 Process Critical
    Job Time Due Ratio
    1 6 18 3.0
    2 2 6 3.0
    3 3 9 3.0
    4 4 11 2.75
    5 5 8 1.6
    Job 5 is done first.
    Example: Critical Ratio
     T=5 Process Due - Critical
    Job Time Current Ratio
    1 6 13 2.17
    2 2 1 0.5
    3 3 4 1.33
    4 4 6 1.5

    Job 2 is done second.


    Example: Critical Ratio
     T=7 Process Due - Critical
    Job Time Current Ratio
    1 6 11 1.84
    3 3 2 0.67
    4 4 4 1.0

    Job 3 is done third.


    Example: Critical Ratio
     T = 10 Process Due - Critical
    Job Time Current Ratio
    1 6 8 1.84
    4 4 1 0.25

    Job 4 is done fourth, and job 1 is last.


    Critical Ratio Solution
    Job TimeDone Due Tardy
    55 5 8 0
    22 7 6 1
    3 3 10 9 1
    4 4 14 11 3
    1 6 20 18 2
    Total 56 7
    Mean flow time = 56 / 5 = 11.2
    Average tardiness = 7 / 5 = 1.4
    Number tardy = 4
