A machine operator has to perform two operations, turning and threading on 6 different jobs. The time required to perform these operations (in minutes) for each job is known. Determine the order in which the jobs should be processed in order to minimize the total time required to complete all the jobs. Also find the total processing time and idle times for turning and threading operations.
| Job | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| Time of turning | 3 | 12 | 5 | 2 | 9 | 11 |
| Time for threading | 8 | 10 | 9 | 6 | 3 | 1 |
