EXERCISE 2. Continuation of exercise 1. More conditions are added: The entities (people)
They arrive at the station following an Exponential distribution of 5 minutes, the service time.
it follows an Exponential distribution of 3 minutes, considering that the travel time
The interval between objects is 2 minutes. Simulate for 9 hours.
Take a screenshot of the model.

EXERCISE 3.- In a small industrial workshop, metal parts are processed through four
operations. The pieces enter the system every 5 minutes, one by one.
Operation 1. Assembly (12 minutes), 1 piece is processed at a time.
Operation 2. Welding (10 minutes), processing 3 pieces at a time.
Operación 3. Pintura (40 minutos), se procesan 4 piezas a la vez.
Operation 4. Inspection (8 minutes), 1 piece at a time.
Simulate an 8-hour workday.
Take a screenshot of the model.
Interpret the basic statistics
A total of 97 pieces enter the system and only 35 pieces come out.
The percentage of utilization of the stations is:
Ensamble = 99.99%
Inspección = 58.33%
Pintura = 77.05%
Soldadura = 27.08%
The parts take 3.15 hours in the system.
EXERCISE 4. Consider the case where customers (entities) arrive at an ATM (resource) in a
bank, with a time between arrivals that follows a Normal Distribution with a mean of 5.89
minutes and with a standard deviation of 0.65 minutes. Customers are served by the cashier in
an exponentially distributed time with a mean of 4.5 minutes. After being attended to,
clients withdraw from the system (bank). Simulate the system for 480 minutes.
Take a screenshot of the model.
Draw a conclusion about the efficiency of the system, interpret the basic statistics.
A total of 81 customers enter the system and 79 customers exit. The cashier has a utilization of
81.15% and customers take an average of 0.2 hours in the system.
Despite only being a teller at the bank, it is a very fast system, which allows for service.
a larger number of clients, therefore, it seems to be efficient.
EXERCISE 5. An airport has a main entrance, where passengers arrive with a
exponential inter-arrival time with a mean of 1.6 min. The transfer from there to the counter.
It takes between 2 and 3 minutes with a uniform distribution. They must wait at the counter.
until one of the 5 available agents is free to assist them. The attention time
follows a Normal Distribution with a Mean of 7 min and a Standard Deviation of 2 min.
Create a simulation model for this TOME CAPTURA system in 3D.
Run it for 16 hours, provide the basic statistics, and conclude.
A total of 595 passengers enter the system and 590 passengers exit. The counter has a utilization
of 86.20% and customers take an average of 0.21 hours in the system.
EXERCISE 6.- A small factory is dedicated to the manufacture of billiard balls. The balls come out of
the casting at an exponential rate of 4 minutes per ball. They move on to an inspection process
where an operator reviews them with a triangular distribution of 1, 3, 4 minutes. It is known that 90%
the balls continue the following process, the remaining 10% have defects and are sent to
destruction. The destruction process takes between 30 to 90 minutes with a mode of 60 minutes. The
the next process for the balls that pass inspection is cleaning where it is required that
These are grouped by a robot, 3 at a time, taking 5 minutes for each group of balls.
Then they are sent to the warehouse. Run the model for 8 hours
