 The distributions of loading time, weighing time, and travel time are
given in Tables 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5, respectively, from Table A.1.
 The purpose of the simulation is to estimate the loader and scale
utilizations (percentage of time busy).
Manual Simulation Using Event Scheduling

 The activity times are taken from the


following list as needed:
Manual Simulation Using Event Scheduling

 System state [LQ(t), L(t), WQ(t), W(t)]


 LQ(t) = number of trucks in loader queue
 L(t) = number of trucks (0, 1, or 2) being loaded
 WQ(t) = number of trucks in weigh queue
 W(t) = number of trucks (0 or 1) being weighed, all at simulation
time t
 Event notices :
 (ALQ, t, DTi ), dump truck i arrives at loader queue (ALQ) at
time t
 (EL, t, DTi), dump truck i ends loading (EL) at time t
 (EW, t, DTi), dump truck i ends weighing (EW) at time t
 Entities : The six dump trucks (DT 1, … , DT 6)
 Activities : Loading time, weighing time, and travel time

 Simulation Starting Condition:


Simulation will start depending on any of the two
conditions.
1. You need to use all the recourses from the beginning of
the simulation.
2. It has been assumed that five of the trucks are at the

loaders and one is at the scale at time 0.

 Simulation Ending Condition:


Simulation will ends depending on any of the two
conditions.
1. After a specific time elapsed (will be mentioned in the
problem). Or
2. When all the truck go for travel.

 The utilizations are estimated as follows:

49 / 2
 average loader utilization   0.32
76
76
 average scale utilization   1.00
