SPT (Shortest Processing Time)

Examples

1. 01At the test bench, SPT is used during a backlog: short tests go first, so more orders are finished each day.
2. 02The planner checks the SPT sequence each day so that long jobs are not pushed back again and again until they become late.
3. 03Using SPT for one week clears 40 small orders from the queue, but the two longest jobs are then given fixed slots.
