Reconsider Exercise XXXXXXXXXXSuppose that there is limited space at the second station.
In particular, there is room for one customer to be in service at the second station
and room for only one customer to wait at the second station. A customer completing service at the first station will not leave the service area at the first station
unless there is a space available for his/her to wait at the second station. In other
words, the customer will not release the server at the first station unless he/she can
move to the second station. Reanalyze this situation under the same conditions of
Exercise (8.27).
(a) Use a resource to model the waiting space at the second station. Ensure that a
customer leaving the first station does not release his/her resource until he/she is
able to seize the space at the second station.
(b) Use a HOLD module with the wait and signal option to model this situation.
Compare your results to those obtained in part (a).
(c) Use a HOLD module with the scan for condition option to model this situation.
Compare your results to parts (a) and (b).
(d) Discuss the effectiveness of each of the methods. Discuss the efficiency of each
of the methods.
