10. Develop a Simio model of the serial manufacturing system shown in Figure 5.41. Assume that parts arrive to the system at the rate of 120 per hour and that the arrivals are Poisson. The characteristics of each machine are given in Table 5.10. Your model should include the following characteristics/features:
a) Parts (entities) should move from machine to machine instantaneously (0 simulated time).
b) Name the object instances in your model using meaningful names.
c) Create a user-defined statistic that tracks the number of "reworks" in the system, where a "rework" is any part that has been reworked at least once (i.e., it's entered S1 more than once).
d) Create a status plot that displays (1) the instantaneous number of entities in the system, (2) the average number of entities in the system, and (3) the instantaneous number of reworks in the system (see above). The time range for the plot should be 25 hours.
e) Develop an interesting animation for your model.
f) Create an experiment with the following conditions:
- Run length -200 hours;
- Warmup -50 hours;
-20 replications.
g) Create experiment responses for each of the following:
- Average number of parts in the system;
- Maximum number of reworks in the system;
- Average time (in minutes) that parts spend in the system;
- The utilization of S4;
- The rate at which good parts are finished (in parts per hour);
- The rate at which parts fall-out from S3(in parts per hour).
