Chapter 6Intermediate Modeling and Terminating Statistical Analysis What We’ll Do ... A small manufacturing system (Model 6.1) Sequences Variables and Expressions Sets Importing CAD drawings Verification (a.k.a. debugging) Statistical analysis of output data: terminating simulations Time frame of simulations Replicating and confidence intervals (Model 6.2) Comparing alternatives A Small Manufacturing System Part arrivals, four cells, part departures Cells 1, 2, and 4: single machine each Cell 3: two machines — newer one 20% faster Need: way to model non-identical resource units Circular layout of cells Parts enter at left, exit at right, travel only clockwise, all transfer times = 2 min. A Small Manufacturing System (cont’d.) Three separate part types Interarrivals (all types merged) ~ expo(13) minutes 26% type 1, 48% type 2, 26% type 3 Different part types follow different routes, have different (triangular) processing times: Need: way to change routing depending on part type — process plans Sequences Sequences module on Common panel — a data module Define named sequences of stations to visit Generally depends on entity type Can assign attributes or variables at each station in sequence, which can depend on entity type In Leave Data area of modules, select Seq (rather than Connect or Route) to get entity to follow a sequence Must assign a sequence to entities doing this Sequences (cont’d.) Arena internally keeps track of Sequence-following entity via automatic attributes Sequence name, NS Station (where entity is or is going to), M Jobstep along the sequence, IS Normally, entity Arrives, is assigned a Sequence name, travels its route, exits Can interrupt this sequence, jump forward or backward (tricky) Remember to define the “exit” station Variables Allow re-use of the same number(s) in different places Can only be constant values, but any entity can reassign the value of a Variable Variables module from Common panel Data module Defines names, initial values
