Submission: Submit the following files.

One file for the Simio model: YourName$\_$HW$3.$spfx$.$ This file will have the Simio model and the experiment. Problems $1$ and $2$ will be in the Simio file.

One file for the report in word for Problem $3.$ YourName$\_$HW$3.$docx $($or $.$doc$).$ The answer will be based on your Simio model and queueing analyses. If you answer the bonus question, its answer will be in the word file as well.

Credit: $15$ points out of the $100$ points that can be collected.

Note: This is an individual assignment.

REFER TO THE Homework $3-$Report Format for reporting your answers.

DO NOT FORGET to name your files as noted at the top.

Consider the Jackson Network below.

There are three service stations. Each station has $4$ servers and the service rate at each station for any server is $\frac{8}{?}$ hour. The numbers on the arcs represent the selection probabilities, which are $0\mathrm{.}5($other arcs have probability $1).$

Now, you have the option to add one server to one of the stations. In this assignment, you will use Simio and design an experimentation to decide which station will get the additional server based on the average number of customers in the whole system $($i$.$e$.,$ estimation of $L^1+L^2+L^3,$ where $L^i$ denotes the average number of customers in the station$-$i$).$ Basically, we want to answer: "Should station$-1$ or station$-2$ or station$-3$ get the additional server if we want to reduce average number of customers in the network?"

Problem $1(5$ points$)$: Create a Simio model for the above Jackson network. Do not forget to submit the Simio file in your submission. Use a single Model Entity and name the model entity as 'Customer', and the service objects as 'Station$1\text{'},$ 'Station$2\text{'},$ and 'Station$3\text{'},$ and sink objects as 'Exitfrom$3\text{'}$ and 'Exitfrom$2\text{'}.$ Use connectors for the links $($i$.$e$.,$ do not use paths$)$ and be careful with using connectors from exit$-$port of a server object to entry$-$port of a server object. Your 'Exitfrom$2\text{'}$ sink should be for the exit from Station$-2$ and 'Exitfrom$3\text{'}$ sink should be for the exit from Station$-3.$ NOTE: In defining interarrival and processing time distributions, use minutes as the time unit.

Problem $2(6$ points$)$: Design an experimentation $($in the same Simio file under the model created in problem $1)$ to compare the following four scenarios $(c_i$ denotes the number of servers in station i$)$:

Scenario $1-$ The current situation: $c_1=4,c_2=4,c_3=4$

Scenario $2-$ Station $1$ gets an additional server: $c_1=5,c_2=4,c_3=4$

Scenario $3-$ Station $2$ gets an additional server: $c_1=4,c_2=5,c_3=4$

Scenario $4-$ Station $3$ gets an additional server: $c_1=4,c_2=4,c_3=5$

As noted previously, you are asked to compare these four scenarios based on one response, which is the average number of customers in the network.

To compare these scenarios based on the specified response, run $50$ replications for each scenario, such that each replication has $100$ hours warmup and $500$ hours actual run time.

Note: you will need to add Reference properties to be able to define different scenarios. Name your
