Dispatching
It is to decide the best order of an operation in the process, and make instructions to workers. All of the operation order which reached a certain process do not have the same priority. Some can be delayed, some are urgent and are required to be handled first. The main functions of dispatching are to determine the priority, to set the best order, to make instructions, and to control the process.
