Abstract
The study investigates the effects which various arrival rate distributions may have on the relative success of implementing various job shop heuristic dispatching rules. Sixteen different arrival rate distributions are tested on ten dispatching rules. General conclusions imply that the distribution with respect to shape and range of the arrival rate for incoming jobs is not a significant variable in evaluating the relative effectiveness of dispatching rules.Keywords
