Problem 4 In the manual simulation of Section 3.3.1 and the Excel file Model 03 04.xls, speed up the service times by decreasing them all by 20%. What's the effect on the same set of output performance measures? Discuss (in particular) utilization, average time in the system, average time in the queue, L, and Lq?
