- [Instructor] In chapter three we added a timer to our simulation so we could track the movements of two customers through three stations. In this chapter we will extend that model to add customers throughout the simulation. We will use the Poisson distribution to generate random customer arrival times based on a known average gap between arrivals. We will also move the customer generation code inside of the timer, because the timing will be driving when new customers arrive. We'll write the results of the simulation to a worksheet instead of using debug.print like we were before. And finally, we will run the simulation and fix a mistake that could lead to customers getting stuck in a particular station.
