Queuing Jackson Network Problem A simple assembly line has 3 stations. Station 1 has service rate of 5 per hour, station 2 has a service rate of 6 per hour and station 3 has a service rate of 12 per hour. Jobs arrive at the rate of 4 per hour. 10% of the parts leave station 3 and return to station 1 for rework. Reworked parts require the same amount of time as normal parts. Assume the processing time and inter-arrival times are exponential distribution. Model this system as a Jackson network.

1. What is the maximum rework percent that this system can support? Simulate a system with deterministic processing time? What is the difference in number in the system(5 points)?
