A dispatching rule is proposed for job shop operations where the performance criteria are due date related. The dispatching rule is constructed by combining the characteristics of the shortest process time rule and a dynamically determined earliest due date rule. The performance of the proposed rule is compared to currently well known rules across various shop environments using discrete simulation.
