Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The S/RO (slack per remaining operations) rule prioritizes jobs based on the amount of slack time divided by the number of remaining operations. The job with the lowest S/RO value is processed first. Without the specific values from Table J.11, we can't calculate the exact S/RO values for each job. However, the correct sequence according to the S/RO rule is provided as option A) D-C-A-B. This implies that, based on the given data, job D has the lowest S/RO value, followed by jobs C, A, and B in that order.
