Run the simulation
- So far in this chapter you have created a simulation that takes information about a series of stations within a business process, such as a sandwich shop that makes food to order, and applies that information to discover how long customers will spend within the system. In this movie we'll run the simulation a couple of times to see its results. We have already ran all the information we need from the sim setup worksheet so I'll press ALT+F11 to move to the visual basic editor. And here we have to code that we completed in the last movie. What this process does is read in the number of stations and then it creates customers and stations collections, adds customers and stations, reads in information about the stations, the station ID, the average processing time, and the standard deviation and then steps through to generate a processing time for each station within the system. At present it only does…
