Dispatching Rules Library (Practical Dispatch Heuristics)

A compact, practical reference for common dispatching rules (FIFO, EDD, SPT, LPT, Slack, Critical Ratio, and a few production patterns). For each rule: a plain‑language description, when it helps or harms throughput and delivery, example shop scenarios, tuning tips, and a short pilot-test template to measure impact on throughput, lead time, on‑time delivery, WIP and changeovers.
