Modeling a car production line: Create and run the model

In this exercise, you'll continue to work on the car production line example from the previous exercise.

Now that you have created the generator car_production_line_gen(), which clocks in and yields the duration of processes involved in the production line ("welding and painting" and "assembly and testing"), it's time to run your SimPy model!

Exercise instructions

  • Build your SimPy model environment with the name env.
  • Add the process represented by your generator function to the SimPy environment.
  • Run the model for 1000 hours.
