A small production system has parts arriving with interarrival times distributed as TRIA(6, 13, 19) minutes. All parts enter at the dock area, are transported to workstation 1, then to workstation 2, then to workstation 3, and f nally back to the dock, as indicated in the f gure that follows. All part transportation is provided by two carts that each move kel01315_ch09_379-422.indd 418 05/12/13 3:21 PM A Sampler of Further Modeling Issues and Techniques 419 at 60 feet per minute. The distances from the dock to each of workstations 1 and 3 are 50 feet, and the distances between each pair of workstations are also 50 feet. Parts are unloaded from the cart at workstations 1 and 3 for processing, but parts get processed on the cart at workstation 2. Processing times are 8 + WEIB(4.4, 4.48) minutes, UNIF(8, 11) minutes, and TRIA(8, 11, 17) minutes for workstations 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Assume that all load and unload times are negligible. Workstation 1 Workstation 2 Workstation 3 Dock Develop a simulation and animation of this system and run it for 10,000 minutes, observing statistics on cart and workstation utilizations, as well as part cycle times.
