- Define
the terms used in simulation: Event, Event Notice, Event List, Activity,
Delay, Clock.
- Explain
the Event Scheduling Algorithm in detail?
- A small
Store has only one check out counter, customers arrives at this counter at
random time that are from 1 to 8 minutes apart. Check out that possible
value of interarrival time that has some
probability of occurance. Service time vary from 1 to 6 minutes
with the following probability .Here a stopping timeof 60 minutes is set.
Simulate the system.
- Dump
Truck problem: Six drump trucks are used to haul coal from the entrance of
a small mine to rail road. Fig provides a schematic of the dump truck is
loaded by one of the two loaders. After a loading the dump truck
immediately moves to scale to be weighted as soon as possible. Both loader
and scale have a first served waiting line for trucks. Travel time from a
loader to the scale is considered negligible. After being weighed, a truck
begin a travel time during which time the truck unloads load then afterwords
return to the loader queue. The distribution of loading time, weighting
time and travel time are given together with the random digit. Simulatethe
system.
