Step 1 :Arrivals are only present from 5 am to 8pm for a total of 15 hours.
A simulation run length of 24 hours would cause the time-based statistics like number in station like number in station , number in queue, and scheduled utilization to be computed when there were no arrivals,causing lower than expected values for these statistics .
Therefore we will set the Starting Time within the " Run Setup " tab to 5:00 am and the Ending Type to Specific Ending Time at 8:00 pm as shown in Figure3.5
