Simulating a Production System

 The production shop can produce two types of products A and B.


 First, the coming order must be processed. The processing time follows Normal Dist.
(30,102) mins.
 Type A item is an assembly of two parts A1 and A2 which are manufactured in
different stations. The processing time of A1 and A2 are EXPO(0.05) mins and
Uniform(10,40) mins, respectively.
 Type B item is processed successively in two machines B1 and B2 with time of
Normal(40,152) mins and EXPO(0.03) mins, respectively.
 There are some defectives products of type A and B in production process with the
rate of 10% for type A and 5% for type B. These defective items will be reworked
(repaired) in unique station with processing time following Normal(60,20 2) for type A
and Uniform(40,120) for type B.
 All shop has one officer to process the orders and three operators to run all
production processes.
Simulating the Port Operation
 Port has 3 docks which can serve 3 ships in same time.
 There are 3 types of ships which are different in loading and unloading time.
Processing time (loading and unloading time) of type A, B and C ships are
normally distributed with same S.D of 3 hours and means of 15, 25 and 36
hours respectively.
 Inter-arrival time of ships follow expo(mean=12 hours). The distribution ship
types is 40% type A, 30% type B and 30% type C.
 Each ship coming to the port needs one tug to take her to dock and take her
out the port. The time for a tug taking ship in or out the port follows triangle dist.
(0.5, 1.5, 5 hrs). There are 3 tugs working.
 In case, storm occurs, the tugs won’t work. Time between 2 successive storms
is expo(mean = 1000 hrs) and time of storm follows N(mean=20 hrs, SD=4hrs).
Simulating a simple clinic operation
 A patient coming to a small clinic needs to pass three tasks: reception,
diagnosis and medicine purchasing.
 The reception center has two employees and one waiting queue. The
queue length is only 10. If a patient comes when queue is full, he will leave
and return after sometime with probability 70%.
 There are 3 doctor rooms. The patient at reception will be assigned to
doctor room which has the shortest queue.
 After getting diagnosis from doctor, the patient will enter the drug store to
buy medicine and finish the process.
 Students give your own processing time distributions, arrival rate and other
necessary information.
