9A: Arena Output Analysis
Introduction
We will now outline procedures for measuring performance for a terminating and non-terminating simulation using Arena. The analysis will cover the use of multiple replications and one long run. Performance measures will be reported using confidence intervals.
Terminating Simulation Analysis for Arena
Arena can be used to analyse the double-queue bank clerk simulation constructed in chapter 7A. However, before the analysis can begin, an adjustment to the model must be made to ensure that the simulation is a true terminating system. At present, the simulation starts from empty and then customers arrive at the bank until the simulation run is completed. To be a true terminating system, the simulation must ...
