Simulation Problem
Simulation”, Second Edition, Prentice-Hall India, 1980) A machine shop produces two types of parts,
A and B, with 90% being of type-A, and the remaining of type-B. The sequence in which the parts are
made is random. The time taken for producing each part is exactly 6 minutes. After a part is made, it
is subjected to inspection; there is one inspector for inspecting type-A parts, and another for B. The
inspection times are random and uniformly distributed. For type-A part, the inspection time lies
between 2 mins to 8 mins, and that for type-B between 10 mins to 30 mins. The probability of a part
( irrespective of whether it is A or B) being rejected as defective after inspection by an inspector is
0.1.
1. The expected waiting time in mins of a type-A part, and a type-B part, before inspection.
Each run of your simulation can be for 1500 arrivals of parts for inspection , both A and B combined.
