ISYE 6644 SIMULATION EXAM 2 COMPLETE
STUDY GUIDE WITH SOLVED QUESTIONS
◉ Which kinds of sets are allowed?
Answer: Resources set, counter set, entity type set, entity picture set
◉ TRUE or FALSE? It is possible for the resource Joey to be a
member of three different resource sets.
Answer: True
◉ TRUE or FALSE? For easy display and organizational purposes,
our Call Center simulation is divided into several submodels.
Answer: True
◉ TRUE or FALSE? The customer arrival pattern for our Call Center
changes over the day and is therefore modeled as a
nonhomogeneous Poisson proces.
Answer: True
◉ TRUE or FALSE? All of the Tech Support servers for our Call
Center are equally skilled and have the same concurrent work
schedules.
Answer: False
,◉ TRUE or FALSE. In our Call Center demo, fake customers are used
to update a variable that keeps track of the period of the day.
Answer: True
◉ Consider our Call Center demo. What is the following Seize
request asking for? Set, Product 1, 1, Preferred Order, Agent
Answer: Grab one server from the set Product 1 in the order listed
when the set was defined, and store that guy's identity int he
attribute Agent.
◉ TRUE or FALSE. In our inventory demo, fake customers are used
to initiate a periodic inventory review.
Answer: True
◉ Consider the Arena expression DISC(0.3,1,0.5,3,1.0,6) which is a
discrete random variable. What is the random variable's expected
value?
Answer: (0.3)(1) + (0.5-0.3)(3) + (1.0-0.5)(6) = 3.9
◉ Consider a vanilla (s,S) = (5,12) inventory policy. If my inventory
slips to 3, how many items do I order?
Answer: 9.
Since 3<s, we order S-3 = 9
, ◉ TRUE or FALSE? It's perfectly OK for a customer to go from server
1 to server 2 and then back to server 1.
Answer: True
◉ TRUE or FALSE? Crazy stuff can happen if you start fooling around
with multiple server visits, service priorities, and server times.
Answer: True
◉ TRUE or FALSE? There are 100s of SMARTs files for you to play
around with.
Answer: True
◉ Modules and spreadsheets from which panels are used in the
demo?
Answer: Basic Process, Advanced Process, Advanced Transfer
◉ ((1==1)*10) + ((1==0)*5) = ?
Answer: 10
◉ TRUE or FALSE? You can find individual Seize, Delay, and Release
modules in this template (Advanced Process Template).
Answer: True
