Q1.

(10)

Encircle the correct choice

(a). Model verification means consistency of computational model with the
specification model

T/F

(b). In single server queue model the server must be idle, if the queue is empty

T/F

(c). One of the condition for validity of Littles equations is that the queue capacity
of service node should be infinite

T/F

(d). In an inventory system delivery lag means an order placed with the supplier is
delivered immediately

T/F

(e). In an inventory system for fixed S and demand sequence, the shortage cost will
increase whereas setup cost will decrease with decreasing s

T/F

(f).

T/F

The controllability of a random number generator is the ability to reproduce its

output, if desired

Q2.

(25)

Customers arrive at grocery shop with interarrival times distributed as Equilikely(1,5) minutes
and receive service distributed as Equilikely(4,8) minutes
Random Number for Inter-arrivals
Random Number for Service

0.55 0.35 0.15 0.95

0.77 0.45 0.12 0.65 0.85

Simulate such shop, starting from the arrival of 1st customer. Compare the average dely times
if every even customers inter-arrival time is decreased by 1 minute.
Q3.
Let
is as following:

for a Simple Inventory System and the demands schedule for each week
Demands

30 15 25 15 45 30 25 15

. Assuming initial and final invertory level is S (i.e. 60). Calculate holding
Prove that
and shortage level after every 4 weeks.
