Question:
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 From Arrive 0 100 100 200 300 WS A 100 0 150 100 225 WS B 100 150 0 100 200 WS C 250 100 100 0 100 Exit 350 250 225 100 0 kel01315_ch08_345-378.indd 374 17/12/13 2:07 PM Entity Transfer 375 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 conf 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.
