Question: Interarrival Time Distribution: Exponential of mean = 1 . 1 min. Service Distribution: Server 1 : Exponential of mean = 0 . 8 min. Server

Interarrival Time Distribution: Exponential of mean =1.1 min.
Service Distribution: Server 1: Exponential of mean =0.8 min.
Server 2: Exponential of mean =1.0 min.
Number of Locations =3
Number of Entities =1
Compare and simulate for 12 hours, 0 warmup time, 1 replication
Scenario 1 The situation as shown above versus
Scenario 2 Adding a queue before the bottleneck [Save the
original model in a new file, go to Build Locations, ad add a new
location as queue, then go to Build Processing and re-route the
relevant processes. Save and run]
Scenario 3 Adding a new parallel server at the bottleneck [Save
the original model in the new file, go to Build Locations and at the
bottleneck location, go to Units: change value from 1 to 2, then save
and run.]
Compare and contrast the three scenarios with respect to the
utilization of the 3 elements: server, queue and entity. Show he
scenario with the best utilization. Analyze and defend all the
conclusions given here
