- Problem 3 Sensitivity Analysis. A masonry plant produces four types of breeze-blocks (a type of brick made from concrete rather than clay). There are three stages of the manufacturing process which require labor: Mixing, Vibrating, and Inspection. During the next month, there are 700 machine-hours available for mixing, 1100 machine-hours for vibration, and 340 man-hours for inspection. Each variety of breeze-block has its own set of manufacturing requirements given in Table 1 below.

- Scenario E.1 SimQuick is being used to simulate the following bank process: Entrance Door Buffer Line Work Station Teller Buffer Served Customers Customer arrivals at the Entrance Door of the bank with an average time between arrivals of 2.5 minutes. The Line Buffer holds 6 customers. If a customer arrives and the buffer line is filled, the customer leaves. The Work Station Teller's processing time per customer is normally distributed, with a mean of 3.0 minutes and a standard deviation of 0.5 minutes. The Served Customer Buffer in the flow chart is used to count the number of customers processed during the period simulated. A 2-hour period was simulated. The SimQuick simulation is run, and the results are as follows: Overall Element Types Element Names Statistics Means Entrance Door Objects entering process 41.80 Objects unable to enter 6.23 Service level 0.87 Buffer Line Objects leaving 37.83 Final inventory 3.98 Minimum inventory 0.00 Maximum inventory 5.85 Mean inventory 3.08 Mean…arrow_forwardAn average of 1200 parts arrive to the EP chamber during an 8-hour workday. Each part goes through two stages of processing. At each stage, a single product is processed at a time, and processing takes an average of 15 seconds at the first station and 12 seconds at the second station. Inter-arrival times and service times are exponentially distributed. At the end of the second step, the product goes through a quality check. 5% of the parts fail the quality check and are sent back to the second stage of service. Parts exit the system only after they pass the quality check. Ignoring the time required to perform the quality check or in moving the part through the facility, what is the average cycle time for parts?arrow_forwardIf there is no variability in the system (best case), what happens if there is more than the critical WIP in the system?
