A New Contingent Critical‐ratio Technique

Abstract

Critical‐ratio technique is a common approach used to identify the next job to run on a machine. Recently, an alternative procedure, known as the contingent critical‐ratio technique, has been proposed and proved to be superior to the conventional critical‐ratio rule. Examines the logic of the contingent critical‐ratio technique and proposes a new procedure. Experimental results show that the new procedure performs better than both the contingent critical‐ratio and the conventional critical‐ratio techniques.
