 Change your model for Exercise 7-4 to use nonaccumulating conveyors to transfer the parts between stations. Assume that there is a single conveyor that starts at the arrive area and continues to the exit area: Arrive – WS A – WS B – WS C – Exit. Assume that the distances between all adjacent stations on the conveyor are 100 feet. Further assume that the cells of the conveyor are 2 feet and that each part requires 4 feet of conveyor space. Load and unload times are each 0.25 minute. The conveyor speed is 20 feet per minute. Run your simulation for 100,000 minutes and record the part cycle times.
