Modeling & Simulation L4

The document outlines a two-stage manufacturing model using Arena simulation, where jobs undergo assembly and quality inspection before painting. Jobs have exponentially distributed arrival times and a uniform assembly time, with 15% requiring rework after inspection. The simulation aims to analyze process utilizations, average reworks, waiting times, and flow times over a period of 100,000 hours.

BASIC MODELING CONCEPT OF ARENA

University OF MINES & TECHNOLOGY
EXAMPLE: TWO PROCESSES IN SERIES

 A two-stage manufacturing model with two processes in series.


Jobs arrive at an assembly workstation with exponentially distributed
inter-arrival times of mean 5 hours. We assume that the assembly
process has all the raw materials necessary to carry out the operation.
The assembly time is uniformly distributed between 2 and 6 hours. After
the process is completed, a quality control inspection is performed, and
past data reveal that 15% of the jobs fail any given inspection and go
back to the assembly operation for rework (jobs may end up going
through multiple reworks until they pass inspection). Jobs that pass
inspection go to the next stage, which is a painting operation that takes
3 hours per job. We are interested in simulating the system for 100,000
hours to obtain process utilizations, average number of reworks per job,
average job waiting times, and average job flow times (elapsed times
experienced by job entities).
 Arena model
• Entities represent jobs that are created by the Create module Job
Arrivals, and enter the Assign module Arrival Time, where their
arrival time is assigned to an attribute called ArrTime.
• Job entities then proceed to the Process module Assembly, where
they undergo assembly.
• Next, assembled job entities go through inspection in the Decide
module Quality Check, and those needing rework are routed to
the Assign module Number of Reworks to record the number of
reworks per job, and then back to module Assembly.
• Job entities that pass inspection proceed to be painted in the
Process module Painting, which completes the manufacturing
operation.
• Completed job entities go through Record modules Flow Time and
Reworks per Job to collect statistics of interest.
• Finally, job entities enter the Dispose module Completed, where
they are removed from the model.
