Outline • Chapter 3: Guided Tour Through Arena • Chapter 4: Modeling Basic Operations and Inputs
a drill press Model 03-01 • a drill press processing one type of product • interarrival times ~ i.i.d. exp(5) • service times ~ i.i.d. triangular (1,3,6) • all random quantities are independent one type of parts; parts come in and are processed one by one
Model 03-02 and Model 03-03 • fundamental questions • specialized or generalized workers? • effect of variability of service times? • applicant arrivals: interarrival times ~ i.i.d. exp(1.25) • four workers: all service times ~ exp(1) • Model 03-02: sequential servers • Alfie checks credit; Betty prepares covenant; Chuck prices loan; Doris disburses funds • Model 03-03: parallel servers • Each employee can do any tasks
exponential service times constant service times specialized (and sequential) servers Model 03-02 Model 03-04 generalized (and parallel) servers Model 03-03 Model 03-05 Remarks for Models 03-02 to Model 03-05 • Expression Builder & the online book (Arena Variables Guide.pdf)
Insights from Simulation Results • generalized (parallel) servers being better • less WIP; shorter total time in system; shorter total waiting time; higher throughput • less variable service times being better • less WIP; shorter total time in system; shorter total waiting time; higher throughput • formal proof after numerical evidence
Comments on Menus and Toolbars • many • menus: Edit, View, Tools, Arrange, Object, Run, Window, Help • toolbar: Standard, Draw, Animate, Integration, View, Arrange, Run Interaction, Record Macro, AVI Capture, Animate Transfer • different levels of help • specific features of Running • no animation: fast forward or batch run • compiling by clicking F4 • debugging
Chapter 4 Modeling Basic Operations & Inputs
A Sequence of Related Models • Model 4-1: a sealed electronic assembly and test system • more features, • Model 4-2: additional features in scheduling, failure, and states of resources • Model 4-3: more advanced animation • Model 4-4: advanced features in moving – stations, routes, and animation
