Please show logical model with Arena Sofware only: 5-13 An office of a state license bureau has two types of arrivals. Individuals inter-
ested in purchasing new plates are characterized to have interarrival times distributed as
EXPO(6.8) and service times as TRIA(8.8,13.7,15.2); all times are in minutes. Indi-
viduals who want to renew or apply for a new driver's license have interarrival times
distributed as EXPO(8.7) and service times as TRIA(16.7,20.5,29.2). The office has two
lines, one for each customer type. The office has five clerks: two devoted to plates (Mary
and Kathy), two devoted to licenses (Sue and Jean), and the team leader (Neil) who can
serve both customer types. Neil will serve the customer who has been waiting the longest.
Assume that all clerks are available all the time for the 8-hour day. Note that when entities
from the front of multiple FIFO queues (corresponding to multiple Process modules) try
to seize the same Resource, the logic to select which entity "wins" is as though all the
queues were merged together into a single FIFO queue. Observe the system or cycle time
for both customer types over an 8-hour day. Note that, since Neil is multi-talented, you'd
want to assign someone else to the next customer if you have a choice of which employee
to assign. For the output statistics requested, put a text box inside your Arena file.
5-14 The office described in Exercise 5-13 is considering cross-training Kathy so she
can serve both customer types. Modify the model to represent this, and see what effect
this has on system time by customer. For the output statistics requested, put a text box
inside your Arena file.
5-15 Modify the model from Exercise 5-14 to include 30-minute lunch breaks for each
clerk. Start the first lunch break 180 minutes into the day. Lunch breaks should follow
one after the other covering a 150-minute time span during the middle of the day. The
breaks should be given in the following order: Mary, Sue, Neil, Kathy, and Jean. What
impact does this have on system time by customer? For the output statistics requested,
put a text box inside your Arena file.
