Introduction (iscrete e"ent simulation allo!s you to quic)ly analy*e a process or system+s beha"ior o"er time, as) yourself ,!hy- or .!hat if. questions, and design or change processes or systems !ithout any financial implications. The rena Simulation Soft!are is the most used (iscrete E"ent Simulation Soft!are in the !orld. rena is a programming language !hose main feature is the ability to adapt to the le"el of programming required in each case, e"en !ithin the same model. This allo!s rena not lose fle#ibility, including the possibility of using general purpose languages such as $icrosoft %isual &asic or '. . !e"inition and Conce#ts !e"inition: rena /created by 0oc)!ell Soft!are1 is an application that allo!s the reali*ation of simulation !ith a high le"el of detail models, both conceptually and !ith the use of animations. Some conce#ts: $ntities: representing people, ob2ects, or anything else, real or imagined, that mo"e through the model, can cause changes in system status or affect others. An attri%ute is a characteristic common to all entities, but !ith a specific "alue to differentiate from one another. ttributes are local "ariables /local for each entity1. rena can assign these attributes automatically or be defined by yourself if needed. &aria%les '(lo%al): "ariable is a piece of information that reflects some characteristics of the system, no matter ho! many or !hat types of entities can be. There are t!o types of "ariables3 %ariables manufactured by rena /number of entities in the queue, number of employed resources, simulation time, etc.1 and user4defined "ariables /number of entities in the system, etc.1. Resources represent e"erything necessary for a process3 people, machines, tools, etc. They are static model elements and they are housed in institutions, potentially by different user4 defined states3 busy, free, and faulted, etc. Stations: rena represents the systems by di"iding them into subsystems. These subsystems are called stations. Con*eyors and trans#orters3 an entity may be transferred from one station to another in different !ays3 direct connection3 the entity should not !ai t until it is a"ailable to any means transport. 'on"eyors3 they function as con"eyor belts. 5nce the entity requests the access from one station to another, must !ait for there site in the tape to start the transport. Transporters3 in this case there are a number of "ehicles responsible for conducting the transport. The entity after requesting a "ehicle has to be e#pected to be a"ailable to able to transport. Accumulators statisticians: they act as accumulators statisticians as the simulation progresses, such as3 the number of parts produced, total time !aiting in a queue, number of entities that ha"e gone through a tail, the longest that has remained in the queue, the total of time passing in the system for all entities that are disappearing, the area under the cur"e of some functions, other. An e*ent is something that happens in an instant of time /simulated1 that can ma)e change, attributes, "ariables, or accumulators statisticians, such as3 the arri"al or the output of the system of an entity, the end of the ESCUELA SUPERIOR POLITCNICA DEL LITORAL INGENIERA Y ADMINISTRACIN DE LA PRODUCCIN INDUSTRIAL simulation. t rena, this information is stored in a calendar of e"ents. Simulation cloc+: the current time in the simulation is sa"ed in a "ariable called simulation cloc). Start and sto#: rena does many things automatically, but is not able to decide issues of modeling such as start and stop. The user is !ho should determine the conditions for appropriate start, ho! much should last the e#ecution or if it should stop at a particular moment in time !hen a specific e"ent occurs. ,.
