E.g.machine shop – running status; number of jobs in queue; number of jobs in process; next arrival time Activity – machine process time; aircraft boarding time Event time – job arrival, job completion * * * Events – arrival departure Activity – service; departure comes at end of service “activity” * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Recapping the simulation Data collected during simulations Observational Time-dependent Know the difference! * Recapping the simulation (2) Observational data Sequence of equally weighted observations Observations are mostly times… Time in queue Time in system But the time the observation occurs – or sequence- is generally meaningless or irrelevant * Calculating observational data Arena uses TALLY to collect observational data Example Customer Time in Queue Time in System 1 0 3 2 1 4 3 2 4 4 1 2 5 0 1 Average = 4/5=0.8 14/5=2.8 * Calculating time-dependent data Arena uses DSTAT to collect time dependent data Also known as time-persistent data Sequence of values weighted by the length of time the value persists Normally not times (queue length, customers in system) Duration of value is important * Calculating time-dependent data Example of DSTAT Deposit $300.00 on 1st day of
