In particular, there is room for one customer to be in service at the second station

and room for only one customer to wait at the second station. A customer completing service at the first station will not leave the service area at the first station

unless there is a space available for his/her to wait at the second station. In other

words, the customer will not release the server at the first station unless he/she can

move to the second station. Reanalyze this situation under the same conditions of

Exercise (8.27).

(a) Use a resource to model the waiting space at the second station. Ensure that a

customer leaving the first station does not release his/her resource until he/she is

able to seize the space at the second station.

(b) Use a HOLD module with the wait and signal option to model this situation.

Compare your results to those obtained in part (a).

(c) Use a HOLD module with the scan for condition option to model this situation.

Compare your results to parts (a) and (b).

(d) Discuss the effectiveness of each of the methods. Discuss the efficiency of each

of the methods.
