Modeling a system with two arrival lists for a server
Posted: Tuesday 13 January, 2015 - 23:22
Hi!
I need help with a task and it's quite urgent. Here's the task:
One unit of raw material makes one unit of finished inventory. The production process performing this transformation takes an uncertain time per unit characterized by a TRIANGULAR(1,2,3) distribution (in hours); thus the average time to convert one unit from raw to finished state is 2 hours. You can only work on producing one unit at a time.
We store the raw material in a facility with a capacity of 60 units. When the raw material inventory level reaches 25 units, we order an additional 35 units. The lead time for the raw material is characterized by a TRIANGULAR(24,36,48) distribution (in hours).
Simulate 10,000 hours of operation of this system. What fraction of the time the server isn't working because there is no raw material?
I have created an Arrival list that creates 60 products, connected it to a Queue and connected that to a Server, followed by a Sink. Underneath, I've created another Arrival list that creates 1 product, followed by a Queue. After it there is a Server that transforms 1 unit of raw material into a batch of 35. The server is connected to the first Queue.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to program the triggers on the Queues so everything works properly. I've been told I need the Initialize atom but i don't know how to use it.
Please help.
Thank you.
