Consider a Mobile Device Assembly and Quality Assurance System. The system consists of several key
steps: component assembly, software installation, functional testing, and final packaging. The assembly
line processes two types of products: Smartphone A and Tablet B.
System Description:
Smartphone A and Tablet B arrive at the assembly line according to separate exponential distributions.
Smartphone A arrives every 6 minutes, while Tablet B arrives in batches of 3 every 40 minutes.
A production worker is responsible for the assembly of Smartphone A with a triangular distribution with
a minimum of 2 minutes, a mode of 5 minutes, and a maximum of 9 minutes. For Tablet B, the assembly
takes a triangular distribution with a minimum of 6 minutes, a mode of 10 minutes, and a maximum of 15
minutes.
After assembly, both products go through software installation and this is done by a technician.
Smartphone A has TRIA(2,3,4) minutes installation time, while Tablet B installation time is Weibull
distributed with a scale parameter of 7 minutes and a shape parameter of 4. You must use single Process
module for modeling the technician.
Functional testing follows the software installation, which is a shared process for both products. The
testing time for Smartphone A is exponentially distributed with a mean of 8 minutes, and for Tablet B, it's
exponentially distributed with a mean of 12 minutes. This process is done by a tester.
10% of all products require rework after testing which takes an exponentially distributed time with a
mean of 20 minutes and 90% will move for packaging. After rework, 15% of the products is considered
as scrapped product and the remaining are assumed to pass the test and move to packaging.
Final packaging for Smartphone A takes a TRIA(1,2,3) minutes, and for Tablet B, it takes
TRIA(1.5,2.5,3.5) minutes.
Modeling Requirements:
Develop an ARENA model to simulate the described system for five days of 8-hours shifts (40
replications).
Report the following results from the simulation:
1. Utilization of all resources.
2.3. Average total time in the system for Smartphone A and Tablet B.
Average waiting time and average number in queue for all Queues.
Deliverables:
One member of the group should submit ***.Zip file contains the following on blackboard:
1-2- An MS-WORD file report contains the answers for the above questions, detailing the simulation
model, assumptions, and results (with detailed cover page).
The ARENA model file (i.e.*****.doe).
