Five types of object (a, b, c, d, e)are generated (frequency 1:1:1:1:1) every 10 seconds.
These object are distributed to two workstations through an accumulator based on minimum
relative occupancy strategy. The working time for each objects are given in the table. Further
these objects are assembled with an assembly object at assembly stations. The objects are
assembled with quantities as in assembly table. After assembly, objects are transported with
help of 3 transporters. The objects a, c & e are unloaded at Unloading point 1 object b & d
are unloaded at Unloading point 2. These object undergo disassembly. The quantity and
type of disassembled object generated are given in the disassembly table.
There is failure at Workstation 1, Assembly station 2 and Disassembly station 1. (Refer
failure table)
A single worker is assigned for the repair.
Please build the simulation model with given layout.
Simulation time : 8 hours
Please use quick table for:
work time at workstation,
assembly quantities at assembly station,
quantities of disassembled objects generated at disassembly.
