5-3 from the Arena text with Modules from the Basic and Advanced
Templates Sample Problems for Test #1 Arena® Slides: Chapter 1; Chapter 2; Chapter 3; Chapter 4; Chapter 5; Chapter 6; Chapter 7; Chapter 8; Chapter 10; Chapter 11; Chapter 12; Appendix C Graphical Spreadsheet Queueing Simulation Model 1 — Concepts: Modeling with the Basic Process template; animation by means of the Animate toolbar; collection of statistics and computation of confidence intervals with the Statistic module from the Advanced Process template and the Output Analyzer. Model 2 — Concepts: Use of Variables; multiple entity types; animation of routes with the Station and Route modules from the Advanced Transfer template and the Animate Transfer toolbar; generation of non-stationary Poisson arrivals; dynamic assignment of entity pictures. Model 3 — Concepts: Use of Sets, and resource Schedules and Failures. Model 4 — Concepts: Creating resource failures by means of control entities. Look at the following modules: (1) the StateSet module (we can use the same names as the AutoStates); (2) the Resouce module (we edited the StateSet Name entry); (3) the Statistic module (we created a Frequency statistic to compute the percentage of time the machine spent in each state). Single Server Queue Arena Model with Costs — Feel free to experiment with (a) Route Times and Route Paths; (b) Resource Schedules and Failures; (c) saving statistical data; and confidence intervals for finite-horizon simulations. Inventory Model — Feel free to experiment with plots of variables. Re-entrant Queues — This model was created with version 3.5 of Arena, but illustrates that priorities can cause instabilities.
