The project consists of $4$ steps. At each step, there are items to be answered and responded to in the

final report.

Step $1$

Please determine a system that you want to model and simulate. $($Please note that you will build a

discrete model of a dynamic stochastic system.$)$ You will also determine the requirements defined

below.

Determine system components $($e$.$g$.$ entities, their attributes, activities, events, and state

variables$)$

Determine the relations between system components

Your model must include at least one queue.

Reporting: Include your answers for the items asked above in the report $($see Deliveries$).$

Step $2$

Build the conceptual model of the system that you would like to model and simulate. For this purpose,

you need to provide the following items as well:

Define the objectives

Re$-$determine$/$refine system components $($e$.$g$.$ entities, their attributes, activities, events, and

state variables$)($you worked on this in the previous homework$)$

Determine the performance metrics $($as well as other outputs$)$

Determine the alternative system design$($s$)$ that you consider to test

Reporting: Include your answers for the items asked above in the report $($see Deliveries$).$

Step $3$

Build the computerized model of the system that you built the conceptual model previously. Please use

the Anylogic simulation tool. Your computerized model will include the following items.

system components

the relations between system components

generation of random variates

$2D$ view of the model

$3$D view of the model

the input variables $($describe as the decision variables and uncontrollable variables$)$

the type and the values $($might be a pdf$)$ of input variables $($parameters$).$

the output variables $($parameters$),$ e$.$g$.$ average time spent in the system per customer, the

average number of customers waiting at a specific queue. In your project, you have to measure

at least one delay$-$related output parameter.

Output values and responses

Step $4$

In this final step, you are required to simulate and perform the evaluation.

For the system you defined and built in previous steps, simulate the system. Please answer the following

items;

Collect data on the system you built. Regarding the input parameters,

Estimate the mean values for the output $($performance$)$ parameters you defined above.

You have to run $($replicate$)$ the simulation several times with different seed values.

Estimates should be the mean of all runs $($replications$).$

Compute the $95\%$ confidence intervals for the output parameters.

Estimate the total number of replications needed to estimate mean output parameters

with $10\%$ enhancement $($narrowing the $Cl$ for $10\%).$

Compute the $95\%$ prediction intervals for the output parameters.
