Consider the following manual simulation of machine breakdowns and repair
Breakdowns Time between breakdowns,
x (weeks) Repair time,
y (days) Cost
($2,000 y)
1 4 1 $2000
2 5.7 2 $4000
3 5.5 2 $4000
4 2.5 1 $2000
5 5.2 2 $4000
6 5.8 2 $4000
7 1.6 1 $2000
8 2.3 2 $4000
9 1.2 2 $4000
10 3.3 2 $4000
What operating characteristics can be obtained from this simulation?
Answer: Average time between breakdowns, average repair time, average cost. Depending on the length of the simulation run (quarterly, annual), total breakdowns and costs per time period could also be determined.
