Develop a model of a simple serial two-process system. Items arrive at the system with a mean time between arrivals of 5 minutes, with the first arrival at time 0. They are immediately sent to Process 1 (please find a name for it), which has a single resource with a mean service time of 3 minutes. Upon completion, they are sent to Process 2 (same here, a name is required), which is identical to (but independent of) Process 1. Items depart the system upon completion of Process
2. Performance measures of interest are the average numbers in queue at processes and the total time in system of items. Use replication length of 4,800 minutes and 5 replications and the following input distributions:
Exponential interarrival times and exponential service times Model the problem considering first 600 minutes as warm-up period. Show the result graphically.
i. When you start building the Arena model start with the Project Title, Programmer Info, Date, Additional Instructions (Named Views, Objective of the model/study). You can also add these in one of the module descriptions.)
ii. Build the Arena Model
iii. Include Animation (at least 6 meaningful animation components)
iv. Include at least two stats (both in the Report and in the Animation) for
v. Summarize your results (comparison) briefly (in less than a page) using statistical outcomes comparing your model with its “exponential interarrival times and constant service times” equivalent.
