Develop your own waiting line simulation model for the Black Sheep Scarves problem described in Section 12.3.

Question:

Develop your own waiting line simulation model for the Black Sheep Scarves problem described in Section 12.3. Assume that a quality inspection department for a new production facility is expected to check scarves with times uniformly distributed between 0 and 4 minutes. The service times of the quality inspection are anticipated to be normal, with a mean of 2 minutes and a standard deviation of 0.5 minutes. Simulate the operation of this system for 1000 scarves using one quality inspector. Discard the first 100 scarves and collect data over the next 900 scarves. What is your assessment of the ability to operate with one quality inspector? What happens to the average waiting time for scarves near the end of the simulation period?
