A small manufacturing department contains three serial workstations each with a special machine to process the parts. Parts arrive according to an exponential interarrival-time distribution with a mean of 8 (all times are given in minutes), with the first parts arriving at time 0. Before a new part can start processing, it must be mounted on fixtures, and this mounting operation takes 2 minutes). The part remains on the fixture until it completes processing on all the workstations, at which time it is removed from the fixture (this removal operation takes 1 minute), after which the fixture becomes available for another part that might be waiting for it. Processing times at the first workstation have a high frequency of 7 and can be as low as 4 but do not exceed 9. Processing times at the second workstation have a lower and upper bound of 5 and 10 respectively. Processing times at the third workstation do not exceed 9 but with a minimum of 5, and usually 6.5. Run your simulation for a single replication of length 48 hours. This is scenario one (1).
