Using Excel, do a simulation by hand given the following information. We have
system that has a single server and a single queue (M/M/1), interarrival times are exponentially
distributed with a mean of 5 minutes, and service times are also exponentially distributed with a
mean of 4 minutes. The sample of the inter-arrival and service times are provided in the table
below (all times are in minutes).
For each replication, complete the simulation by hand, you may use any of the two methods shown in
the lectures.
Additional details
Initially (at time 0), the system is empty and idle.
Base units: Minutes
The simulation length is 30 minutes.
For each replication, estimate the following key performance indicators.
(1) Total Production.
(2) Average waiting time in queue.
(3) Maximum waiting time in queue.
(4) Average total time in the system.
(5) Maximum total time in the system.
(6) Time-average number of parts in the queue.
(7) Maximum number of parts in queue.
(8) Server utilization
 Using Excel, do a simulation by hand given the following information.
