Model1
Purpose
Introduction to the 5 basic steps of model building using a single queue, single server system (post office).
Description
people arrive at a post office every 60 seconds, on average. The statistical probability distribution which best simulates the inter-arrival pattern is an exponential distribution with a location value of 0 and a scale value of 60.
the service time at the one and only service window in the post office is lognormal2(31, 3.1, 0.5) seconds.
if the queue for the service window exceeds 20 people, new arrivals are routed out of the model as “unhappy customers”.
