Question: 1 . ( 3 ) SASMAA Problem 4 - 1 ( Chapter 4 , Problem 1 ) Create a model similar to Model 4 -

1.(3) SASMAA Problem 4-1(Chapter 4, Problem 1)
Create a model similar to Model 4-1 except using an arrival rate, , of 120 entities per hour and a service rate, , of 190
entities per hour. Run your model for 100 hours and report the total number of entities created, the total number that
completed service, and the average time entities spend in the system.
Submit a screenshot of your facility view at the end of the run (before pressing Stop) and a screenshot of your Results
highlighted in Pivot Grid displaying only the statistics requested.
2.(3) SASMAA Problem 4-3
Using the model from Problem 1, create an experiment that includes 100 replications. Run the experiment and observe the
SMORE plot for the time entities spend in the system. Next, experiment with the various SMORE plot settings --- viewing
the histogram, rotating the plot, and changing the upper and lower percentile values.
Submit a screenshot of your SMORE chart and a summary results with discussions of the time entities spend in the system.
3.(2) SASMAA Problem 4-6
In the context of simulation modeling, what is replication, and how, in general, do you determine how many replications to
run for a given model?
4.(2) SASMAA Problem 4-7
What is the difference between a steady-state simulation and a terminating simulation?
5.(2) SASMAA Problem 4-8
What are the initial transient and warm-up periods for a steady-state simulation?
6.(4) SASMAA Problem 4-12
Animate your model from Problem 1 assuming that you are modeling a cashier at a fast food restaurant --- the entities
represent customers, and the server represents the cashier at the cash register. Use Simio's standard symbols for your
animation. Use Path instead of Connector to connect the relevant objects; each path is 10 meters long.
Submit a screenshot of your 3D facility view during a run. Include in a pivot table by highlighting summary of key results
for average number in the system, time in the system, number in the station, time in the station, and utilization. Explain
any differences from the results in problem 4-1 and its reason.
7.(4) SASMAA Problem 4-13
Modify your model from Problem 1, assuming that you are modeling a manufacturing process that involves drilling holes in
a steel plate. The drilling machine has the capacity of up to 3 parts at a time (c =3 in queueing terms). The arrival rate
should be 120 parts per hour, and the processing rate should be 50 parts per hour. Use Google 3D Warehouse to find
appropriate symbols for the entities (steel plates) and the server (a drill press or other hole-making device).
Submit a screenshot of your 3D facility view during a run. Include in a pivot table by highlighting summary of key results for
average numbers in the system, time in the system, numbers in the station, time in the station, and utilization.
