1 Simulation Supplement B

2 Simulation Simulation: The act of reproducing the behavior of a system using a model that describes the processes of the system. Time Compression: The feature of simulations that allows them to obtain operating characteristic estimates in much less time than is required to gather the same operating data from a real system. Monte Carlo simulation: A simulation process that uses random numbers to generate simulation events.

3 Specialty Steel Products Co. Example B.1
Specialty Steel Products Company produces items such as machine tools, gears, automobile parts, and other specialty items in small quantities to customer order. Demand is measured in machine hours. Orders are translated into required machine-hours. Management is concerned about capacity in the lathe department. Assemble the data necessary to analyze the addition of one more lathe machine and operator.

4 Specialty Steel Products Co. Example B.1
Historical records indicate that lathe department demand varies from week to week as follows: Weekly Production Relative Requirements (hr) Frequency Total 1.00

5 Specialty Steel Products Co. Example B.1
Average weekly production is determined by multiplying each production requirement by its frequency of occurrence. Weekly Production Relative Requirements (hr) Frequency Total 1.00 Average weekly production requirements = 200(0.05) + 250(0.06) + 300(0.17) + … + 600(0.02) = 400 hours

6 Specialty Steel Products Co. Example B.1
Weekly Production Relative Requirements (hr) Frequency Total 1.00 Regular Relative Capacity (hr) Frequency 320 (8 machines) 0.30 360 (9 machines) 0.40 400 (10 machines) 0.30 The average number of operating machine-hours in a week is: 320(0.30) + 360(0.40) + 400(0.30) = 360 hours Average weekly production requirements = 400 hours

Weekly Production Relative Requirements (hr) Frequency Total 1.00 Regular Relative Capacity (hr) Frequency 320 (8 machines) 0.30 360 (9 machines) 0.40 400 (10 machines) 0.30 The average number of operating machine-hours in a week = 360 Hrs. Experience shows that with 11 machines, the distribution would be: Regular Relative Capacity (hr) Frequency 360 (9 machines) 0.30 400 (10 machines) 0.40 440 (11 machines) 0.30 Average weekly production requirements = 400 hours Example B.1

8 Specialty Steel Products Co. Assigning Random Numbers
Random numbers must now be assigned to represent the probability of each demand event. Random Number: A number that has the same probability of being selected as any other number. Since the probabilities for all demand events add up to 100 percent, we use random numbers between (and including) 00 and 99. Within this range, a random number in the range of 0 to 4 has a 5% chance of selection. We can use this to represent our first weekly demand of 200 which has a 5% probability.

9 Specialty Steel Products Co. Assigning Random Numbers
Random numbers in the range of 0-4 have a 5% chance of occurrence. Event Weekly Demand (hr) Probability Random numbers in the range of 5-10 have a 6% chance of occurrence. Random numbers in the range of have a 17% chance of occurrence. Random numbers in the range of have a 5% chance of occurrence.

10 Specialty Steel Products Co. Assigning Random Numbers
If we randomly choose numbers in the range of enough times, 5 percent of the time they will fall in the range of 00-04, 6% of the time they will fall in the range of 05-10, and so forth. Event Existing Weekly Random Weekly Random Demand (hr) Probability Numbers Capacity (hr) Probability Numbers – –29 – –69 – –99 –32 –62 –77 –83 –97 –99

11 Specialty Steel Products Co. Model Formulation
Formulating a simulation model entails specifying the relationship among the variables. Simulation models consist of decision variables, uncontrollable variables and dependent variables. Decision variables: Variables that are controlled by the decision maker and will change from one run to the next as different events are simulated. Uncontrollable variables are random events that the decision maker cannot control.

12 Specialty Steel Products Co. Example B.2
Simulating a particular capacity level Using the Appendix 2 random number table, draw a random number from the first two rows of the table. Start with the first number in the first row, then go to the second number in the first row. Find the random-number interval for production requirements associated with the random number. Record the production hours (PROD) required for the current week. Draw another random number from row three or four of the table. Find the random-number interval for capacity (CAP) associated with the random number. Record the capacity hours available for the current week.

13 Specialty Steel Products Co. Example B.2
Simulating a particular capacity level If CAP > PROD, then IDLE HR = CAP – PROD If CAP < PROD, then SHORT = PROD – CAP If SHORT < 100 then OVERTIME HR = SHORT and SUBCONTRACT HR = 0 If SHORT > 100 then OVERTIME HR = 100 and SUBCONTRACT HR = SHORT – 100 Repeat steps until you have simulated 20 weeks.

27 Computer Simulation The simulation for Specialty Steel Products demonstrated the basics of simulation. However it only involved one step in the process, with two uncontrollable variables (weekly production requirements and three actual machine-hours available) and 20 time periods. Simple simulation models with one or two uncontrollable variables can be developed using Excel, using its random number generator. More sophisticated simulations can become time consuming and require a computer.
