choose the correct options A system is composed

choose the correct options

A system is composed from two stations in series. Parts arrive to the system exactly every 5.5 minutes from the warehouse. Parts then arrive to station 1, this station has two workers (capacity =2) processing times is expo(8.2) minutes. The workers have a break after 4 hours of the shift for a duration of 1 hour. The workers do not take the break together (staggered) use wait policy. After that the parts arrive to an automatic machine, the machine has a processing time of unif(4.8,5.2) minutes. However this machine suffers from two failure modes the 1st has a up-time of expo(5) hrs and down-time of expo(20) minutes. The second failure mode has an up-time of UNIF(10,20) hours and a downtime of exactly 1 hr (use preempt rule for all failure modes). Run the system for 20 days, 8 hours per day. Do 10 replications and select the correct answers only: The parts waiting time for station 2 is higher than station 1 B The percentage of time the automatic machine is in the failed state is about 21% of the simulation time The total time in parts spend in the system is less than 200 minutes. The percentage of time the automatic machine is in the failed state is about 13% of the simulation time E The parts waiting time for station 1 is higher than station 2 F) The total time in parts spend in the system is more than or equal to 200 minutes. G The average WIP in the system is about 42.8 parts The maximum WIP in the system in the 10 runs) is 135 parts
