Define process flow and programming goals
- [Instructor] In this chapter, you will create a simulation that defines a series of three stations and moves two customers through those stations. The idea is that the first customer moves through the entire sequence before the second customer starts. That is an unrealistic scenario, but it provides a simplified framework we can use as a base for more complicated models later in the course. Specifically in this chapter, we will declare all the variables we need, define classes for customers and stations, which are the business objects within the simulation, and then we will add stations and assign values to properties. Following that, we will clean up any unneeded objects. Then, with all of that programming in place, we will run the simulation once to make sure it works, and then run it multiple times so that we can see how results vary over time.
