Total marks: 95/100


[1] Build a program that simulates the model and 
(a) Measures the utilization all resources, such as shovels, crusher, and trucks.
(b) Have proper simulation start state (all trucks waiting for their shovel)
(c) Print all simulation results

10 + (20 + 5 + 5)



[2] New model (the crusher serves the trucks associated with shovel 1 at higher priority than the other trucks). Do a similar simulation for this revised model.
(a) Simulation model that reflects the higher priority associated with Shovel 1
(b) Measurements of the utilization of all resources
(c) Simulation results

20 + 15 + 5

[x] There was no description (neither separate folder) to try the simulation model with higher priority, therefore the results depicted in the assignment could not be verified

-5



[3] Discuss the following questions:
(a) Is the system well balanced or are there bottlenecks ?
(b) In order to remove the bottlenecks Would it be better to change the number of trucks or the number of shovels ?
(c) Quantify your discussions by using some simulations with different numbers of trucks and shovels.

5+5+10

[x] Dont u think u need two priority queues for each of these two new crushers? Otherwise the queue will overload and reduce system resource utilization

[x] Overall the presentation of the results were remarkable
