Following are questions from a project team (Pravin) and my responses. Note that your
mileage may vary, but much is generally applicable.

Dr. Whitman
P1)UOB1 - It decides type
of product order ( Custom product or standard product)
L1) Fine
P2) I am assuming Joe as
the resource for the UOB1. Is it right?
L2) No resource required
to 0 processing time.
P2) After the UOB1, fan
out junction J1 decides the product type. I would like to know probability for that.
L2) Assume 10% custom
parts (notincluding the later decision of custom parts)
P1) UOB123 - In generate
custome order, this UOB considers acceptence of the custom order.
L1) TRI(1,1.5,7) in DAYS
to determine acceptance (45%) acceptance rate.
P2) I am assuming Joe as
the resource for the UOB123. Is it right?
L2) No, no resource is
required (it is the individual customers who do this
P1)UOB36 - It is in
production process. It checks sources for the products. (Single source/Multi source)
L1) Fine
P2) UOB130 - Manufacture
products.
L2) Fine, In class we
might say TRI(3,9,21) days
P2) I would like to know
resources for UOB130
L2) None (assume that it
has enough to be non-constrained, probably a bad assumption, but not for this model)
P1) UOB68- Ship the
product.After recording details of the shipment. they are shipping the products.
P2) I am assuming TRI(0 0
0) for the UOB68.
L2) Shipping has no time,
so you are correct. (although, constant time of 0 would be simpler)
P1)UOB49- (In receiving)
After inspecting parts, they are sending those to inventory and production.
L1) Fine
