09 Six dump trucks are used to haul the coal from a small mine to the railroad. Each truck is
loaded by one of the two loaders. After loading, the truck immediately moves to the scale
to be weighed as soon as possible. Both the loaders and scale have first come first served
waiting line for trucks. Travel time from loader to the scale is considered negligible. After
being weighed, a truck begins a travel time (during which time the truck unloads), and
then afterward returns to the loader queue. The distribution of of loading time, weighing
time and travel time are given in tables. The purpose of the simulation is to estimate the
loader and scale utilizations

35 A small copy shop has a self-service copier. Currently there is room for only 4 people to
line up for the machine (including the person using the machine); when there are more
than 4 people, then the additional people must line up outside the shop. The owners
would like to avoid having people line up outside the shop as much as possible. For that
reason they are thinking about adding a second self-service copier. Self-service

36 A self-service car wash has 4 washing stalls. When they are in a stall, customers may
choose among three options: rinse only; wash and rinse; and wash, rinse and wax. Each

and wash, rinse and wax (12minutes). The owners have observed that 20% of customers
rinse only; 70% wash and rinse; and 10% wash, rinse and wax. There are no scheduled
appointments, and customers arrive at a rate of about 34 cars per hour. There is only room
for 3 cars to wait in the parking lot, so currently many customers are lost, The owners

81 Suppose that in Example 12,13 the simulation analyst decided to investigate the bias using
batch means over a batching interval of 2000 minutes. By definition, a batch mean for the
interval [(j 1) j (2000) is defined by: Yj = 1 / 2000 j (2000) (j 1) 2000 Lq (t) dt
 Show algebraically that such a batch mean can be obtained from two adjacent batch
means over the two halves of the interval.
 Compute the seven averaged batch means for the intervals [0, 2000),[2000,4000),.for
the M /G /1 simulation. Use the data (Y,j) in Table 12.6 (ignoring Y.15 = 8.76).
 Draw plots of the type in Figures 12.4 and 12.5. Does it still appear that deletion of the
data over [0,2000) (the first new batch mean) is sufficient to remove most of the pointestimator bias?
82 Simulate the dump truck problem in Example 3.5. At first make the run length TE = 40 hours.
Make four independent replications. Computer a 90% confidence interval for mean cycle

queue, versus all at the scale, versus all traveling, versus the trucks distributed throughout the

83 Consider an (M.L) inventory system, in which the procurement quantity, Q, is defined by


M I if I < L
Q=
0
if I L
Where I is the level of inventory on hand plus on order at the end of a month, M is the
maximum inventory level. And L is the reorder point. Since M. L are under management
control. The pair (M, L) is called the inventory policy. Under certain conditions, the
analytical solution of such a model is possible, but the computational effort may be
prohibitive. Use simulation to investigate an (M, L) inventory system with the following
properties. The inventory status is checked at the end of each month. Backordering is
allowed at a cost of $ 4 per item short per month. When an order arrives, it will first be used
to relieve the backorder. The lead-time is given by a uniform distribution on the interval
(0.25,1.25) months. Let the beginning inventory level stand at 50 units, with no orders
outstanding. Let the holding cost be $ 1 per unit in inventory per month. Assume that the
inventory position is reviewed each month. If an order is placed, its cost is $ 60 + $
50Q,where $ 60 is the ordering cost and $5 is the cost of each item. L The time between
demands is exponentially distributed with a mean of 1/15 month. The sizes of the demands
follow the distribution:

 Make four independent replications, each of run length 100 months preceded by a 12months initialization period, for the (M, L) = (50,30) policy. Estimate long-run mean
monthly cost with a 90% confidence interval.
 Using the results of part (a), estimate the total number of replications needed to estimate
mean monthly cost within $ 5.

84 Consider the following inventory system:


(a) Whenever the inventory level falls to or below 10 units, an order is placed. Only
one order can be outstanding at a time.
(b) The size of each order is Q. Maintaining an inventory costs $0.50 per day per
item in inventory. Placing an order results is a fixed cost of $ 10.00
(c) Lead-time is distributed in accordance with a discrete uniform distribution
between zero and 5 days.
(d) If a demand occurs during a period when the inventory level is zero, the sale is
lost at a cost of $2.00 per unit.
(e) The number of customers each day is given by the following distribution:

(f)The demand on the part of each customer is Poisson distributed with a mean of 3
units.
(g) For simplicity, assume that all demands occur at 12 noon and that all orders are
planked immediately thereafter.
Assume further that orders are received at 5.00 p.m. or after the demand that occurred on
that day. Consider the policy having Q = 20 Make five independent replications, each of
length 100 days and compute a 90% confidence interval for long-run mean daily cost.
Investigate the effect of initial inventory level and existence of an outstanding order on
the estimate on mean daily cost. Begin with an initial inventory of Q + 10, and no
outstanding orders.
85 A store selling Mothers Day cards must decide 6 months in advance on the number of
cards to stock. Reordering is not allowed. Cards cost $ 0.25 and sell for $ 0.60 any cards
not sold by Mothers Day go on sale for $0.20 for 2 weeks. However, sales of the
remaining cards in probabilistic in nature according to the following distribution:
32% of the time, all cards remaining gets sold.
40% of the time, 80% of all cards remaining is sold.
28% of the times, 60% of all cards remaining are sold.
Any cards left after 2 weeks are sold for $0.30. The card shop owner is not sure how
many cards can be sold, but thinks it is somewhere (i.e. uniformly distributed) between
200 and 400. Suppose that the card shop owner decides to order 300 cards. Estimate the
expected total profit with an error of at most $5.00

86 A very large mining operation has decided to control the inventory of high-pressure piping by
a periodic review, order up to M policy, where M is a target level. The annual demand for
this piping is normally distributed with a mean of 600 and a variance of 800 this demand
occurs family uniformly over the year. The lead-time for resupply is Erlang distributed of
order k = 2 with a mean of 2 months. The cost of each unit is $ 400 . The inventory carrying
charge, as a proportion of item cost on an annual basis, is expected to fluctuate normally
about a mean of 0.25 (simple interest) with a standard deviation of 0.01. The cost of making a
review and placing an order is $200, and the cost of making a review and placing an order is
$200, and the cost of a backorder is estimated to be $ 100 per unit backordered. Suppose that
the inventory level is reviewed every 2 months, and let M = 337.
(a) Make five independent replications, each of run length 100 months, to estimate long run
mean monthly cost by means of a 90% confidence interval.
(b) Investigate the effects of initial conditions. Determine an appropriate number of monthly
observations to delete to reduce initializations to a negligible level.
87 3. Jobs enter a job shop in random fashion according to a Poisson process at overall rate 2
every 8-hour day. The jobs are of four types. They flow from workstation to work station
in a fixed order depending on type. As shown below. The proportions of each type are
also shown.

Processing times per job at each station depend on type, but all times are (approximately)
normally distributed with mean and s.d. (in hours) as follows:
At Small-town U. there is one graphics workstation for student use located across campus
from the computer center. At 2:00 A.M. one night six students arrive at the workstation to
complete an assignment. A student uses the workstation for 10 8 minutes, then leaves to go
to the computer center to pick up graphics output. There is a 25% chance that the run will be
OK and the student will go to sleep. If it is not OK, the student returns to the workstation and
waits until it becomes free. The roundtrip from workstation to computer center and back
takes 30 5 minutes. The computer becomes inaccessible at 5:00 A.M Estimate the
probability, P. that at least five of the six students will finish their assignment in the 3 hour
period. First make R = replications and compute a 95% confidence interval for p. Next
determine the number of replications needed to estimate p within .02 and make these
replications. Recompute the 95% confidence interval for p.
Four workers are evenly spaced along a conveyor belt. Items needing processing arrive
according to a Poisson process at rate 2 per minute. Processing time is exponentially
distributed with a mean of 1.6 minutes. If a worker becomes idle, then he or she takes the
first item to come by on the conveyor. If a worker is busy when an item comes by, that item
moves down the conveyor to the next worker, taking 20 seconds between two successive
workers. When worker finishes processing an item, the item leaves the system. If an item
passes by the last worker, it is recalculated on a loop conveyor and will return to the first
worker after 5 minutes.

89 Reconsider the dump truck problem of Example 3.5, which was also analyzed in Example
13.3. As business expands, the company buys new trucks, making the total number of
trucks now equal to 16. The company desires to have a sufficient number of loaders and
scales so that the average number of trucks waiting at the loader queue plus the average
number at the weigh queue is no more that three. Investigate the following combinations
on number of loaders and number of scales:
Number of Loaders
Number of Scales
2

The loaders being considered are the slow loaders in Example 13.3. Loading time,
weighing time, and travel time for each truck are as previously defined in Example 13.3.
Use common random numbers to the greatest extent possible when comparing alternative
systems designs, The goal is to find the smallest number of loaders and scales to meet the
companys objective of an average total queue length of no more than three trucks. In
your solution, take into account the initialization conditions, run length and number of
replications needed to achieve a reasonable likelihood of valid conclusions.
90 In Exercise 12.6, consider the following alternative (M,L) policies:
L

(50,30)

50

High
40
(50,40)

M

100
(100,30)
(100,40)
Investigate the relative costs of these policies using suitable modifications of the
simulation model developed in Exercise 12.6 Compare the four system designs on the
basis of long-run mean monthly cost. First make four replications of each (M, L) policy,
using common random numbers to the greatest extent possible. Each replication should
have a 12-month initialization phase followed by a 100-month data collection phase.
Compute confidence intervals having an overall confidence level of 90% for mean
monthly cost for each policy. Then estimate the additional replications needed to achieve
confidence intervals, which do not overlap. Draw conclusions as to which is the best
policy.
91 In Exercise 12.9, investigate the effect of the order quantity on long-run mean daily cost.
Since each order arrives on a pallet on a delivery truck, the permissible order quantities,
Q, are multiples of 10 (i.e., Q may equal 10, or 20, or30,). In Exercise 12.9, the policy Q=
10 was investigated.
 First, investigate the two policies Q= 10 and Q = 50. Use the run lengths, and so on,
suggested in Exercise 12.9. On the basis of these runs, decide whether the optimal Q,
say Q*, is between 10 and 50, or greater than 50. (The cost curve as a function of Q
should have what kind of shape?).
 Based on the results in part (a), suggest two additional values for Q and simulate the
two polices. Draw conclusions. Include an analysis of the strength of your
conclusions.

92 A clerk in the admissions office at Small State University processors requests for
admissions materials. The time to process requests depends on the program of interest
(e.g., industrial engineering, management science, computer science, etc.) and the level of
the program (Bachelors, Masters, Ph.D.). Suppose that the processing time is well
modeled as normally distributed with mean 7 minutes and standard deviation 2 minutes.
At the be inning of the day it takes the clerk some time to get set to begin working on
requests; suppose that this time is well modeled as exponentially distributed with mean 20
minutes. The admissions office typically receives between 40 and 60 requests per day.
Let x be the number of applications received on a day, and let Y be the time required to
process them (including the set-up time.). Fit a metamodel for E (Y/x) by making n
replications at the design points x = 40,50,60. Notice that in this case we know that the
correct model is E (Y/x) = 0 + 1x = 20 + 7x (why?). Begin with n =2 replications at
each design point and estimate 0 and B1. Gradually increase the number of replications
and observe how many are required for the estimates to be close to the true values.
93 Riches and Associates retain its cash reserves primarily in the form of certificates of
deposit (CDs), which earn interest at an annual rate of 8%. Periodically, however,
withdrawals must beamed from these CDs in order to pay suppliers, etc, these cash
outflows are made through a checking account that earns no interest. The need for cash
cannot be predicted with certainty, Transfers from CDs to checking can be made
instantaneously, but the is a substantial penalty for early withdrawal from CDs.
Therefore, it may make sense for R&A to make use of the overdraft protection on their
checking account, which charges interest at a rate of $0.00033 per dollar per day (i.e.,
12% per year) for overdrafts. R&A likes simple policies in which they transfer a fixed
amount, a fixed number of times, per year. Currently they make 6 transfers per year of $
18,250 each time. Your job is to find a policy that reduces their long-run cost per day.
Based on historical patterns, demands for cash arrive a rate of about 1 per day, with the
arrivals being well modeled as a Poisson process. The amount of cash needed to satisfy
each demands is reasonably represented by a log normally distributed random variable
with mean $300 and standard deviation $ 150.
The penalty for early withdrawal is different for different CDs. It averages $ 150 for each
withdra2al (regardless of size), but the actual penalty can be modeled as uniformly
distributed random variable with range $ 100 to 200.
Use cash level in checking to determine the length of the initialization phase. Make
enough replications so that your confidence interval for the difference in long-run cost per
day does not contain zero. Be sure to use correlated sampling in your experiment design.
