Abstract
A method of generating a comparison of optimal sheet scheduling to greedy sheet scheduling, the method comprising receiving, by one or more computer processors, one or more print requests, generating, by the one or more computer processors, a greedy finite state machine based on the one or more print requests, generating, by the one or more computer processors, an optimal finite state machine based on the one or more print requests, generating, by the one or more computer processors, a cross product of the optimal finite state machine and the greedy finite state machine, identifying, by the one or more computer processors, a cycle in the cross product, and generating, by the one or more computer processors, a minimum ratio of optimal cost to greedy cost.
