PCB Electronics manufactures small custom electronic assemblies. Units must be processed through four stations: assembly, soldering, painting, and inspection. Orders inter-arrival times follow an exponential distribution with a mean= 20 minutes. The process time distributions are as follows: Process time distributions at PCB Electronics: Assembly Soldering Painting Inspection Uniform (13.5 1.5) minutes Normal (36, 10) minutes Uniform (55 15) minutes Exponential (8) minutes The soldering operation can be performed on three jobs simultaneously. Painting operation can be done on four jobs simultaneously. a) What general elements would you use to create a simulation model for this problem? b) What statement you will need to use so that soldering operation can be performed on three jobs at a time and what should be the capacity of that location. c) How would you create or code the simulation model that will calculate the total number jobs manufactured during each eight-hour shift and the utilization of each station? d) What element would you need that will show the number of jobs being completed when you are running the model? e) What code should you use, that will show the numbers of jobs being completed when you are running the model?
