Hi, can someone please build a model for this problema in Arena Simulation program?

Could you please also show me how i can set the distributions for each part and the the arrivals for each station?

Parts arrive at a four workstation system according to an exponential interarrival distribution with a mean of ten minutes.The workstation A has 2 machines. Three workstations (B, C, D) each have a single machine. There are 3 part types, each with an equal probablitity of arriving.

The process plans for the part types are given below. The entries are for exponential distributions with the mean processing time parameter given.

Part Type WorkStation, Processing Time WorkStation, Processing Time WorkStation, Processing Time
Part 1 A, 8.5 C, 14.1 B, 15
Part 2 A, 13.5 B, 15 C, 8.5
Part 3 A, 12.6 B, 11.4 D, 8.0

Assume that the transfer time between arrival and the first station, between all stations, and between the last station an the system exit is 2 minutes. Using ROUTE, SEQUENCE, and STATION modules, simulate the system fo 10000 minutes and discuss potential bottlenecks in the system.
