In retail outlets, customers are usually processed on a first come, first served basis. Why? Is the express lane in the supermarket an exception? Craft a sequencing rule to explain express lane behavior
What will be an ideal response?
FCFS is fair. All customers are considered equally important, and no one should be given a higher priority than another. Most students will write a rule like, "Split by long vs. short processing times, then FCFS within each segment" or "FCFS, except for very short processing times." Note that "8 items or less" is a proxy for processing time.
