This paper applies stochastic dominance (SD) preference‐ordering criteria to job shop scheduling rules. A simulation model of a hypothetical dual‐constrained job shop is used to derive several measures of shop performance for a number of dispatching/due‐date scheduling policies. The results presented suggest that previous research conclusions concerning the relative performance of dispatching scheduling rules may need to be reconsidered if production schedulers are risk‐averse utility maximizers.
