Simulation Examples: Simulation Steps Using Simulation Table

This document discusses key concepts in simulation including: 1) Constructing a simulation table to generate values for inputs and calculate response values over multiple repetitions. 2) Simulating queuing systems by modeling discrete arrival rates, service times, queue disciplines, and priorities. 3) Simulating a single-server system with events like customer arrivals and departures that change the number of customers in queue and server status. 4) Providing an example simulation of a grocery checkout with varying inter-arrival and service times to analyze waiting time, idle time, and other outputs.

Discrete-Event System Simulation

Simulation steps using Simulation Table

„ Determine the characteristics of each of the


inputs to the simulation (probability
distributions).
„ Construct a simulation table (repetition 1).
„ For each repetition i, generate a value for the
inputs, and evaluate function, calculating a value
of response yi.

Arrival Event

Example 2.1 : Grocery Center

„ One checkout counter


„ Arrival time between customers are 1 to 8
minutes (equal probability)
„ Service time vary from 1 to 6 (service time table)
„ We are going to analysis for 100 customers.

٤
Outputs

„ Average waiting time=174/100=1.74 minutes


„ The probability that a customer has to wait=0.46
„ The proportion of idle time of the
server=101/418=0.24
„ Average service time=317/100=3.17

order (here is zero)
„ Q: order quantity
