Abstract
This paper describes an extension of the critical ratio procedure that is used to assign priorities to jobs that are waiting to be processed on a set of machines. The extended procedure is compared to the conventional procedure in a flow shop setting using a set of test problems. Several measures of schedule performance that are related to job due dates are considered.
