Running the discrete-event model
Your "Farming Operation" team has finally listed the processes they want to include in this version of the discrete-event model, which you plan to continue refining in the future. The processes are provided in the table below, and the time is in days.
Let's build the dictionary containing this list of processes and run the model for 365 days.
This exercise is part of the course
Discrete Event Simulation in Python
Exercise instructions
- Update the dictionary provided, containing the processes provided in the table.
- Assign the appropriate value to the variable
simulation_time
. - Run the model that has been stored in a function named
discrete_model_farm()
, remembering that it takesprocess_dict
andsimulation_time
as the input variables (in this order).
