please show how to program this question in simquick. I just need to know to set it up on simquick software, all other answers will be downvoted Example : A warehouse A warehouse temporarily holds printers for a chain of computer stores. Trucks from the stores arrive periodically to pick up printers. Exactly when pickups occur and how many printers are picked up is uncertain because it depends on the demand at the stores. The time between the arrival of each truck can be approximated by an exponential distribution with a mean of days. The number of printers that are requested at each pickup can be approximated by a normal distribution with a mean of and a standard deviation of The time to receive an order from the factory can be approximated by a normal distribution with a mean of days and a standard deviation of day. The warehouse wants to satisfy at least of the demand from the stores. The warehouse is considering the reorder point scenarios rows in the following table. Order Size Reorder Point Exercise : a The warehouse estimates that it costs them $ per day for every printer held in inventory and costs $ for every order placed to the factory regardless of the order size The warehouse estimates that demand should remain about the same for the next days time units in SimQuick should represent days For each scenario, run simulations and report the overall mean service level and the estimated total cost. Which scenario would you recommend? Hint: For the Exit in the model, you must enter statistical distributions for both Time between departures" and "Num. objects per departure." b The warehouse is considering using a different company to transport printers from the factory. The delivery time for this company can be estimated by a normal distribution with a mean of days and a standard deviation of day; however, the fixed cost per order would increase to $ The warehouse believes this will allow them to significantly lower their reorder point, but will probably require them to increase their order size. For each scenario row in the following table, run simulations and report the overall mean service level and the estimated total cost. Would you recommend switching delivery companies and, if so which scenario would you recommend? Order Size Reorder Point
