Simulation model of a simple process using Arena

In this video we will build a simulation model of a very simple process and use that as an example to introduce the interface and basic functionalities of Arena.

The example process is taken from: Simulation With Arena by D. Kelton et al.

hi,
it's number of parts asked in the question 4 (average number of parts in the drilling queue), don't you put the answer with "units" or "pcs" instead of "minutes" ?

iam getting an error when iam trying to run my model it says that excel is not installed, do you know what i could do? both my office and my arena are 64 bits

Hello. Can you simulate the following condition in AREA?

Truck A arrives during 24h and is attended by the resource at any time.
Truck B only arrives during 08h to 16h and can only be attended by the resource within this time.
Note: Both are attended by the same resource.

Can you help me? Thank you.

A gas station has 5 gasoline pumps – one dispenses only diesel fuel and 4 dispense both diesel
and unleaded gasoline. A customer arrives to the gas station following a uniform distribution
with a minimum time of 20 seconds and a maximum time of 1 minutes. When a customer
arrives, 70% of the time he/she wants unleaded fuel. As such, he/she tries to queue up in a single
line for the next available diesel/unleaded gasoline pump. If there are already 3 cars waiting for
the diesel/unleaded gasoline pumps, then there is no room for the arriving customer to wait. As
such, rather than join the queue, he/she drives around the block and comes back again in 2
minutes and always joins the queue regardless of the number of cars. Assume that the time to
pump gas form a diesel/unleaded pump follows a normal distribution with a mean of 2 minutes
and a standard deviation of 20 seconds.

Thirty percent of the time, an arriving customer wants diesel fuel. If this is the case, he/she needs
to decide which waiting line to join – the line for the diesel only gas pump or the line for the
diesel/unleaded pumps. To decide, our diesel fuel customer looks at the system. If he/she
observes that the diesel pump queue has 1 or more car waiting and the diesel/unleaded queue has
2 or fewer cars waiting, he/she joins the diesel/unleaded line. Otherwise he/she joins the line for
the diesel only pump. Given how this pump is located on the property, there is no limit to the
number of cars that can wait for this pump. The time to pump gasoline at the diesel only pump
follows a normal distribution with mean of 2 minutes and standard deviation of 30 seconds.
Simulate the gasoline system for 60 minutes and collect the following statistics:
1. The total numbers of cars arrive to the gas station.
2. The average queue size of the diesel only pump.
3. The average queue size of the diesel/unleaded pump.
4. The total number of cars that must circle the block.
5. The utilization of the single diesel pump.
6. The utilization of the four diesel/unleaded pumps.
7. Count number of diesel cars that use the diesel/unleaded pump.
8. Count number of diesel cars that use the diesel only pump.


Please help me with this, Thankyou
