Question: Manual simulation. In this exercise, you are asked to perform a manual simulation of one machine and 8 parts coming in for processing and wait



Manual simulation. In this exercise, you are asked to perform a manual simulation of one machine and 8 parts coming in for processing and wait in a single queue.The Arrival Time (Minutes) and Processing Time (Minutes) of the parts are given by the table below.


Table of Part Arrival and Processing Times:

Customer Arrival Time (Minutes) Service Time (Minutes)
1 0 4
2 8 1
3 14 4
4 15 3
5 23 2
6 26 4
7 34 5
8 41 4


  1. Simulate for 40 minutes and write down your simulation using the following template (Week 2, Page 66).


Just-Finished Event Variables Attributes (Arrival Times) Event Calendar
Entity No. Time t Event Type Q(t) B(t) In Queue In Service Entity No. Time Type











  1. Plot Q(t)and B(t) based on event changes (as shown in lecture notes)


  1. Calculate the following:
  • Average waiting time of parts in queue
  • Time-average number of parts in queue
  • Average time in system for parts
  • Average number of parts in system
  • Utilization of the machine
  • Total number of parts finished.
