Question

Can anyone solve: "Simulation with Arena 6th Edition - Chapter 8 - Question 3E"

8-3 Change your model for Exercise 5-2 to use a fork truck (45 feet/minute) for transportation of parts in the system. Assume that the parts arrive at an incoming dock and exit at a second dock. Assume that the distance between the incoming dock and Machine 2 is 200 feet; all other distances are 100 feet. Animate your solution. Run your simulation for 20,000 minutes to observe the average number in the machine queues and the average part cycle time.

And Exercise 5-2 is ;

Parts arrive at a two-machine system according to an exponential interarrival distribution with mean 20 minutes; the first arrival is at time 0. Upon arrival, the parts are sent to Machine 1 and processed. The processing-time distribution is TRIA(4.5, 9.3, 11) minutes. The parts are then processed at Machine 2 with a processing-time distribution as TRIA(16.4, 19.1, 20.8) minutes. The parts from Machine 2 are directed back to Machine 1 to be processed a second time (same processing-time distribution as the first visit but an independent draw from it). The completed parts then exit the system. Run the simulation for a single replication of 20,000 minutes to observe the average number in the machine queues and the average part cycle time.
