Question
1. For the following simulation models identify the expected type of model (terminating or non-terminating) and the nature of the simulation output (transient, a) A model of a refrigerator manufacturing plant that aims to determine plant b) A model of a chemical plant that tests the production schedule for the next c) A model of a supermarket checkout that aims to determine customer service d) A model of a supermarket checkout that aims to determine customer service e) A model of a hospital emergency unit that aims to determine service levels for steady-state, steady-state cycle). throughput. week. levels over a typical day levels during a busy period. patients.Explanation / Answer
a) It is a non-terminating simulation, because the system runs continuously.
The nature of simulation output is steady state
b) It is a termination simulation model, because we are interested to test the production schedule for the next week, which is a limited period, rather than contunous run
The nature of output is steady state cycle
c) It is a point estimation and hence terminating model
The nature of output is steady state cycle
d) It is a terminating model and nature of output is transcient, because busy period is not a steady state, but transcient
e) Non-terminating model, because the system runs continuously and the output type is steady state
