8-1. Change your model for Exercise 7-4 to include fork trucks to transport the parts between stations. Assume that there are two fork trucks that each travel at 85 feet per minute. Loading or unloading a part by the fork truck requires 0.25 minute. The distance between stations is given (in feet) here; note that the distances are, in general, directional: To Arrive WS A WS B WS C Exit System Arrive WS A F r o m WS B WS C Exit 0 100 100 250 350 100 0 150 100 150 200 300 100 0 100 250 100 225 100 0 100 225 200 100 0

Run your simulation for 100,000 minutes (you may want to turn off the animation via the Run . Run Control . Batch Run (No Animation) command after confi rming that things are working properly), and record the part cycle times. Assume that fork trucks remain at the station where they unloaded the last part if no other request is pending. If both fork trucks are available, assume that the closest one is selected. What are the Variables measured or performance measure required by question 8-1
