Transient Period (20pts). After obtaining steady-state results, you sent Ms. Young a message to see if they are helpful. "Looks like a significant improvement (with the new stylist)," Ms. Young replied, "but I'm not sure if steady state is a valid assumption for my place. Based on my experience, the process seldom stabilizes even during weekends. So, could you check and maybe revise the model to simulate a whole day's operation instead of steady state? Also, different days can be very different and let's focus on a typical Saturday (as we considered before), in which my hair salon opens from 10am to 8pm." Based on Ms. Young's feedback, please change simulation setup (i.e., End time and Runs) and explain why you do so. a. Hint: What's the fundamental difference between simulating a whole day's operations vs. considering only steady state (see title of this question)? What is the impact of this difference on simulation setup? What should the End time be now to represent a whole day's operations from 10am to 8pm? How many minutes in total? Shall we still have a single simulation or multiple runs? Why? Connect with the "fundamental difference" mentioned above
