Question 1
pts
(Lesson 5.2: Process-Interaction.) What sequence of Arena modules would you use to generate
customer arrivals, use a server, and then have customers leave the system after they’re done with
the server?
a. Seize-Delay-Release
b. Create-Resource-Leave
c. Create-Process-Dispose
d. Create-Seize-Dispose
(c).
Question 2
pts
(Lesson 5.2: Process-Interaction.) TRUE or FALSE? Arena uses the P-I “world view”.
True
False
Question 3
pts
(Lesson 5.3: Let’s Meet Arena.) It turns out that the version of Arena that you’re seeing in my videos
is not quite the most-recent version. With this in mind, I’d like you to go to:
https://www.arenasimulation.com/academic/students
and download the current version, which should be approximately 15.1. If you get that version,
you’ll see a few new modules here and there, e.g., the Clone module in the Basic Process
template. To tell you the truth, none of this will affect you at all, but it’ll simply be nice to have the
newest version.
So… did you download the new version?
, a. Yes, I did, and it’s lovely. [Hint: This is the correct answer!]
b. Not yet, but I will pretty soon!
Question 4
pts
(Lesson 5.4: The Arena Basic Process Template.) TRUE or FALSE? The Basic Process template
contains a number of spreadsheets, e.g., a Resource spreadsheet.
True
False
Question 5
pts
(Lesson 5.4: The Arena Basic Process Template.) Go to the Basic Process template and drop-
anddrag a Create module over to the main screen.
Now click into the module. What do you see?
a. A field for “Time Between Arrivals” (i.e., the interarrival time distribution)
b. A field for time units (for the interarrival times).
c. A field for “Entities per Arrival” (i.e., how many customers show up at a time).
d. A field for “First Creation” (i.e., when does the first arrival show up).
e. All of the above (e).
Question 6
pts
(Lesson 5.5: The Create-Process-Dispose Modules.) Go to the Basic Process template and
dragand-drop Create-Process-Dispose modules in that order. They should connect automatically,
so that you’ll see something like:
