Simulation

A food manufacturer is starting a new process which will take a raw piece of meat send it down a conveyor to one of two breader/batter machine and then all product will be regrouped together and sent through a single oven. Your job is to predict how much of the product in a 10000-piece batch will be below 160 degrees

  • Assuming incoming product will weigh on average 250grams with a standard deviation of 25grams and is normally distributed.

 

  • Assuming product is randomly assigned to one of two breader/batter machines (50% to each machine)
  • Assume pickup tests accurately represent the weight pickup of each breader/bather process

 

  • Assuming cooking tests accurately represent the final cook temperature at a given weight  

 

  • Assume the ovens and breader/bather machines are on “max” setting and cannot be adjusted

 

  • Assume the given regression lines were accurately built.

Build a DSS system that allows the initial product weight average to be changed to see the effect on the amount of undercooked ( Below 160 degree) product

The regression line to predict the product that has gone through brader/bather machine 1:

Endweight=1.247*Startweight-33.01 with a standard error of 4.415

The regression line to predict the product that has gone through breader/bather machine2:

Endweight =1,393*Startweight+5.316 with a standard error of 5.427

Regression line to predict cook temperature based on incoming product weight:

Temp=0.1216*Endweight+209.6 with a standard error of 5.658 (the negative sign is highlighted because it can be

The OP should define which products they have access to and what tools they want to use.  SAS Simulation Studio? The DATA step? SAS/IML?  The question is currently posted to the Solution-->Microsoft Community, so the product is unclear.

 

This also looks like a homework or exam question. Many of us will offer hints but not post a complete solution.
