Suppose i am going to build a digital model for all 4 different products coming to awarehouse. All products first move to a temporary waiting area and then to inspectionmachines. There are 4 inspection machines to process each product respectively. Afterinspection, all products must move to next station for scanning before they are finallytransported to 4 racks.Products arrives exponentially with an average of 12 seconds. Processing times of inspectionmachines ars exponentially distributed with an average 6 seconds. Scanning time is fixed 4seconds.Simulation time is 50000s, Queue capacity is 10000.Suppose i need to redesign this process. How would it be possible to improve this system.Maybe identify the bottleneck by output analysis and propose improvement solution byadding additional object(s) or new automated resource to the original model will be possible?

Question

Suppose i am going to build a digital model for all 4 different products coming to a
warehouse. All products first move to a temporary waiting area and then to inspection
machines. There are 4 inspection machines to process each product respectively. After
inspection, all products must move to next station for scanning before they are finally
transported to 4 racks.
Products arrives exponentially with an average of 12 seconds. Processing times of inspection
machines ars exponentially distributed with an average 6 seconds. Scanning time is fixed 4
seconds.
Simulation time is 50000s, Queue capacity is 10000.

Suppose i need to redesign this process. How would it be possible to improve this system.

Maybe identify the bottleneck by output analysis and propose improvement solution by
adding additional object(s) or new automated resource to the original model will be possible?
