Question: Reconsider the dump-truck problem of Example, which was also analyzed in Example. As business expands, the company buys new trucks, making the total number of trucks now equal to 16. The company desires to have a sufficient number of loaders and scales so that the average number of trucks waiting at the loader queue plus the average number at the weigh queue is no more than three. Investigate the following combinations of number of loaders and number of scales:

The loaders being considered are the "slow" loaders. Loading time, weighing time, and travel time for each truck are as previously defined. Use common random numbers to the greatest extent possible when comparing alternative systems designs. The goal is to find the smallest number of loaders and scales to meet the company's objective of an average total queue length of no more than three trucks. In your solution, take into account the initialization conditions, run length, and number of replications needed to achieve a reasonable likelihood of valid conclusions.
